<p>A modern poem:</p>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p><strong>Our cooperation<br/>
|
|
enhances our freedom.</strong><br/>
|
|
It seems like a paradox, but it's true.<br/>
|
|
Think about it: if you come down with the flu<br/>
|
|
or a cold or some other illness,<br/>
|
|
while you suffer in bed, who will protect you?<br/>
|
|
Me, because I am here.<br/>
|
|
I will care for you, ensure<br/>
|
|
you have what you need.<br/>
|
|
If I while hunting or gathering food<br/>
|
|
an awful injury suffer,<br/>
|
|
who will carry me home?<br/>
|
|
Who will tend to my wounds?<br/>
|
|
You, with your strong arms<br/>
|
|
and our connection sans Veil,<br/>
|
|
location always known.<br/>
|
|
Come,<br/>
|
|
my love,<br/>
|
|
<strong>let us fill the gaps in each other,<br/>
|
|
let us our blind spots cover.<br/>
|
|
The strength to do together what neither can alone</strong>:<br/>
|
|
to carve out a world and maintain a home.</p>
