I do not have "a people."
Many others share my silent burden.
We have no common thread to bind us,
nor shared burden to weigh us down
no history. Because our history is
Everyone's history. We are
Everyman or Everywoman.
We fit in with everyone and no one.
We can relate to everything and nothing.
"Community" means something we are not a part of
And that is the ency that fuels the soul.
Either it turns to resentment, fear or hate
Or it forces us to label ourselves, package ourselves
into primary labels and specific demographics.
All we want is what they have
An irony which does not escape us.
