us

we
are
all
are
we
dumb or smart
we are one thing
among all things
we differ
yet not at all
notions
that divide us
across centuries
archaeologists write
man
and his enemy
down as one species
if we get our way
are we
as we see us
more than we are
even if it's nonsense
do we inflate the us
among us
there are those
of us
who diminish
the us
by wanting
to be more
than us
with fictional supernatural borders
attempting to fence
the us
out of nature
and in with gods
with whom
the transcendental
new fictional us-es
will spend all eternity
as supernatural
ever-conscious beings
without bodies
separated
into winners
and losers
into heavens
and hells
not known
to exist
within this world
by the grace
of the belief in god
created by us
well
not by all of us
though some of us
are still creating
god is a process
by which
a chosen super race
removes itself
from the whole world
to a special enclave
a human orania
then we are
no longer us
then we're
communists
and
nazis
though everyone knows
that's not who we are
no one
is exclusively
left
or
right
at all
everyone
has friends
on the other side
it's more like a spectrum
i think
like
he's slightly fahreit
he's overall good
just
dodgy round the edges
even nice
sometimes
lord knows
you
know
exactly
who we are
one day
we're all together
in the grave
levelled
differences dissolved
jointly decomposed
in pieces
all together
once more
one thing
as we have always been
despite the delusions
of grandeur
and gods
that try
to separate the me
from the heathen
