Collectivism

A free verse poem

For this word One,
Just for the sake of One,
Blood has covered innumerable lands and water bodies,
Even until now, today,
All to satisfy the society’s demands of One,
One thought, one belief, one system,
Homogenous, indistinguishable,
United from the outside,
But decaying from the inside,
Slowly yet surely,
Because you and me,
We are One,
One Entity,
One Self

Inspired by the dystopian novella: Anthem by Ayn Rand
