Proposal

the definition, by what we mean when we say society

comes from the generalization we see from the lives

portrayed on t.v.


but what’s really going on in our society?


I see mothers driven to insanity

overwhelmed by their responsibilities

left upon them from a lack of community


i see children turning to drugs

to escape the pain of our

fucked up reality


I see the rage of the

“Right of the Individual”

messing with our nobility


can’t you see?


“We are flowers of one garden,

Leaves of one tree,

Waves of one ocean” *

the human body is our

community and our cancer

is our society


we are dying forgetting our own equality.


so come with me, stand up

take hold of your identity,

become a conscious member of humanity

and help me


i’ll bring what i see, and

you bring what you see and

together let’s change our reality.


together, let’s redefine our society.


*quote taken from the Writings of Baha’u’llah.
