we are few

we invest
our time in work, trying
to the best we can do.
we are honest
in
relationships. family
and friends.
we do what we can
to keep
it altogether.
we are caretakers,
codependent
on the love of others
always trying
to keep the peace,
keep tranquility
in store.
we want no drama,
no turmoil.
we want the world
to be calm
and reasonable
like we are.
we are dreamers.
we are poets, writers,
artists.
philosophers.
our nature is spiritual.
compassion
and joy resides within
us.
we believe in the power
of love.
we want the world to
join in, but

we are few.
