We

A poem about we and I.

WE

 

Look at me!
I'm a word.
I'm called "We".
Have you heard,
don't you see
how absurd
"I" can be?

There is no " I " in a TEAM . " We " get to share and accomplish the task But it was " I " who came up with the idea so its only right that " I " get all the credit ...

Yep the selfish " I " does not want to share the golden globe award with the team player " We "

Simple but beautiful Aethereal ...

Thanks for your review, Neil! The One is everyone, and everyone is One collecton.

I get a similar feeling sometimes, especially in urban England, no one cares about anyone else it seems. If only people could stop and think. Nice one Aeth (that's your cool new nickname)

[Aethereal]

Thanks, Samuel! If they don't care for anyone, then no one cares for them. "Aeth" will do.

I wish that we're true, but somehow the fuckers find friends!!

Buzzards of a feather flock together, so if one goes down all the others may have a easy meal.

"I" without "we" is quite lonely! I enjoyed this - made me smile!

[Aethereal]

Thanks, Rita!

i, we, you, they....us and them....and after all we're only ordinary men...excellent!

[Aethereal]

Thanks, quinfinn! I'm always fun with language. We don't live within reality in itself, for we have no idea what that is. We instead live within a contrived symbolic stream of images within our minds that may or may not represent what reality is all about. Just because we awake in the morning is no reason to assume that we're not still dreaming, or at least half dreaming. Our words are our world.

oh, i love your heart and mind! you're always welcome.....

The brevity in this is pretty cool, a slap in the face for those of us that are bad at grammar. "I" can be just as entertaining as "WE" a room full of idiots.

Thanks, Cobra Lounge! A committee of 100 has never written a famous novel, but many solitary writers have. A committed didn’t write Albert Einstein’s papers on Relativity. Sometimes One is better than many.

AGREED
