Who Are We

Who Are We

Who are
we?
To dictate.
Ridicule.
Tear down.
Someone’s 
beliefs.
Life,
being
tossed
into a
flowing
river.
Coming
up for
air.
Thrashing 
around to
survive.
Entering 
rapids.
Bouncing
off boulders.
Caught,
spinning 
whirlpools,
eddies.
Pushed
under.
Again and
again.
Needing
support,
something
to hold 
on to.
Help
to stay 
afloat.
Many
strategies
employed.
Religious 
beliefs.
A life
raft for
many.
Offering 
flotation 
in most
difficult 
waters.
Who are
we to 
take that
away?
For 
certainly,
who’s to
say?
