Flirting on the topic of community One finds themselves at a loss Both in knowledge and in influence We lack control To define morality To define discipline To define nature and what is natural As much as it is a social construct It is just as much a personal construct. In being so, as much as we lack within ourselves and as much as we lack in being a community Humanity loses adherence And yet strengthens its adherence all the same As much as one may believe we advance as a society We lose ourselves Societies cycle on, only words change their meanings.

The more I grow to witness two sides of a coin, the more I reconsider my position in the world.
