Who invented competition?
It made others look up at me
I was leading my life
till crabby pincers
pulled me down
to mingle with them
where I don’t belong.
accused of unthought deeds
crossing boundaries
makes me criminal
Who invented communities?
They kill individuality

Yes, they gang up on your when you’re succeeding. But then, sometimes we need them to survive. It’s a balance, load your circle with the caring ones.

Oy vey… that’s a hard place to be, Reena.
Perhaps it has to do with finding the right community (if at all).

Ooo–those crabby pincers pulling down the person who thinks differently! A thought-provoking poem.
Yet, I don’t think I’d want to exist without some community–poetic, friends, family, etc.

Wow! eish! Double edged sword isn’t it…i wonder how life would have been if everyone had been a longer.in the same thought not everyone is alligned to someone but after all there’s someone for someone maybe Adam Smith and Karl Marx are to take the shot and Mark to take the credit…
