Awakening


We arose in a world,

Where there is no “I,”

It was a symbol of Selfishness,

Greed,

Power,

We are a population,

Not a community,

As We gaze up into the sky,

We feel the enlightenment beaming,

Individual thinking, but,

We are a population,

Not a community,

We arose in a world,

Where there is no “I,”

It was a symbol of Selfishness,

Greed,

Power,

We have not been awakened.
