WE ARE PEOPLE

We are that which when we are born people gather to celebrate
We are people we exchange gifts and be happy to be more
We are that which sits and names our newly born
That who will seek who we look like even back generations

We are people we are raised hungry and full
We they who are raised clean and raised dirty
Yet we are they expected to be equal to be happy and together
And we are they expected to grow and be strong

We are;we are people in name and in did
We cry towards laughter and laugh towards sadness
We are people and we mourn when we lose anotherand yet
We rejoice when someone else dies as we choose

We gather and put eleven men dressed strangely facing each other
We sing and shout as they kick a ball about and fall
We are people we are who enjoy this thing this noise
We sit all facing an empty field ;expecting them to return

We will cry and look aside as drunken men hammer fists into another
Yet we cheer and screem when we call it sport
Pay out huge sums and sums of them millions to the two
knowing full that we will not have the millions they will have

We are people we put faith in the power of mechanics
As they make us soar into the skies and the high waters
Certain that we will get there and return again the same way
Even sleeing eating drinking and being merry

We are people we will live happily in a country at war
We will trust that no mad man will take charge
Mad as will wipe us from the surface of earth
As surely many a capable and wishing

We ,we people of this world we are in there somewhere
We can create weapons money and chemicals and utilities
Yet when all goes wrong ,when we lose control of it all
We fall and die in pain as we fail to return where it all began

We are people we worship and we deny
We fill churches for goodness as we fill places of evil
We kill as much as we endevour to save heal and feed
We are people ours is a life of death and dying

We read our own books and listen to our own stories
We think that is learning ;acquiring knowledge
How can it be any knowledge when it is us who have authored
Yet we are people and our minds are that simple

We are people
