Analysis of Society

Robert A Francis 1988 (Maryland)



Life is unique
Each one is different
A tiny ant or a massive rainforest
The Great Sahara has a world of specialized life
The United States has a collection of diversified life.

How have we come so far from nature?
A baby gathers thoughts and images for the first time
Not realizing the scenery around them or recognizing the history of it
Civilization did not exist a million years ago.

What caused us to change?
What created the great divide?
Some say God, some say the devil, some say science
The truth is life is unique and social.

Society has changed us
Society has created the divide
Without drastically restructuring society
Life will in itself come to an end.

We all die alone but with the memories of life.
Those memories are transformations of our own creation
That created what we were
What memories will you create?
