Giving only to ourselves,
we receive nothing.
Building only for ourselves,
we create nothing.
Living only for ourselves,
we belong to nothing.
Dying only for ourselves,
we live alone.
The Essence of humanity
cannot be spoken,
only enacted in forging
community:
love articulated by
sacrifice,
to something greater than
the individual.
