but not really


~~

We " unite " around  concepts
Seeping in values both war - like and holy

WE ARE PATRIOTS !

( but it is all       "Thought "

We are not united in "Feelimg "

;;::

It's like our Romances

we are in love with thinking we are in love  !

//

But we are not really united

/:/

You cannot feel unity without

The embrace of community

::

But we have no community !

We actually shun all others

In the attempt to preserve the illusion

Of the special quality of the relationship

;;;

We never try to understand our actions

Because we would have to question

The cultural roots of our behavior

AND

we Are

PATRIOTS !

blindly loyal

Never asking questions
