Social Awareness

Social Awareness

A Poem by Sam Freeland
"

for survival

"
Social means living in a group
contrasted with living alone
Social living can be a benefit
as the history of life has shown
 
Members of a group can be many
when each one does their share
The individuals who go it alone
live without anyone to care
 
From human to insect behavior
advantages to the group are clear
The size of the group will dictate
what individuals will have to fear
 
Beautiful birds choose to be few
with their rapid means of escape
Turtles lay their eggs and leave
fish move quickly to stay in shape
 
When humans begin to understand
what it is required for us to survive
Our race may be able to benefit
and savor the joy of being alive
 
Our social groups will save us
when they focus on how to exist
Without the necessary cooperation
our life on earth will be missed
 
From a universal point of view
humans were never in control
Other forces in the cosmos
could easily diminish our role
 
We need all the help we can get
for human existence to occur
If we concentrate on doing our part
we can make our future more sure
