DIDACTIC: "WE ARE..." BY MAURICE

For the things I know you know not

And the things you know I know not…

It’s the stregnth we get in numbers

The power of multiple members

The bits that we piece together

To Achieve a life even greater

It’s the power of a thousand beings

The melody of a thousand strings

That pool in as an unimaginable force

That sets a multitude into one course

It is one, plus one, plus one plus...etc

Till we reach this crowd that we see

The power of one skill backed by another

The power of a lot pooled in together

Because life is but a force

That move us through spaces, yet on a course

But the living of one mainly depends

Ont the livinng of the rest of their friends

For where I lack, you cover for me

And I will be the extra leg where you slip

Because life is lived in each of us

But is meaningful when lived amongst us

For the things I know, you know not

And the things you know I know not…
