Importance Of Proximity
Raise your voice and stitch your flags into wind turbine sails
No world government
As anarchy reigns
Communities develop with purpose, on purpose
For to rely on One's self
Is to realize that you are not an island
That you are not alone
And that your neighbor's health and well-being directly effects your own
Not because they belong to your peer group
But because of their proximity
You are not more important
You are not important at all
Unless you make yourself important
And that is impossible to do
Without constant evaluation of all the latest data available
And cannot be done for you
You do not exist
You have no self
If you do not do this on your own and assist those who paths you cross
And you will not be counted
Even amongst the dead
About this poem
Originally published on DeviantArt. When rats are tickled, they giggle in ultrasonic squeaks. A UCLA study shows 65 different species of animals have their own form of laughter, referred to in the text as play vocalizations.
