Comp.A Poem by AmeliaGerhardtWhere is the line drawn between helping others and helping yourself? Is this world not built to survive off of the competition sewn into our DNA? If life is created to serve as more than a race in which we are all attempting to finish on top, why have we not called a truce? Tell me, neighbors. Who is the competition, anyway? It is time a new challenge be set into motion. A challenge in which man unites with one another to create a future where everyone can win. Do you not wish to see each and every one of your children with a gold medal around their necks? Perhaps it is naïve to believe that everyone in this world is so willing to share their titles with one another. But is it not also naïve to imagine a winner's circle where one is not lonely? If you do not share the joys of triumph, the path to victory may also be a path of utter destruction.
