Who Are We
Who are
we?
To dictate.
Ridicule.
Tear down.
Someone’s
beliefs.
Life,
being
tossed
into a
flowing
river.
Coming
up for
air.
Thrashing
around to
survive.
Entering
rapids.
Bouncing
off boulders.
Caught,
spinning
whirlpools,
eddies.
Pushed
under.
Again and
again.
Needing
support,
something
to hold
on to.
Help
to stay
afloat.
Many
strategies
employed.
Religious
beliefs.
A life
raft for
many.
Offering
flotation
in most
difficult
waters.
Who are
we to
take that
away?
For
certainly,
who’s to
say?
