Community: true or false


Like so many birds, flocking together, 
Or sheep, we follow these trends: 
What we eat, what we read, what we wear — 
It’s all there; you have only to look, to see 
We are not only creatures of habit, 
We’re hungry for belonging, 
And eager to fit in; the outliers are few, 
And far between. What does it mean? 
Could it be there’s something missing, 
Some hole we need to fill? 
Or were we consciously designed 
 To crave community; it’s just easier 
To mask our differences 
Than to work towards a true collaboration?
