What is society

To you and me?

No,

What is society?

You and me.

 

Socius, societas, society.

Comrade, friend, ally.

How far we have come.

 

There is no longer peace in the once serene word.

Only curses;

Ill wishes.

 

Maybe you are oblivious.

Affected by,

controlled by;

Addicted to

Society.

A victim.

Maybe you are a willing victim of society.

 

Maybe,

Society is

Poison

To me.

 

There are people who

Deny their exsistence

In society;

Who deny

Any form of

Responsibility.

 

Maybe you are guilty of this.

I am guilty of this.

But, I am no longer oblivious.

 

I have uttered words

To curse society,

To accuse society;

To hate society.

 

To hate it

For what it did to me;

For what it made me do.

 

Maybe you have done the same.

 

I am finished with cursing,

Accusing;

Hating.

 

Because I cannot hate society without hating myself.

 

I am society.

You are society.

 

For the definition of "society"

To ever return to

"Comrade,

Friend,

Ally,"

We,

You and I,

Must be a

Comrade,

A friend;

An ally.

 

What is society

To you and me?

No,

What is society?

You and me.
