We The People

Olesia, Guardian of Human Rights, Equality, and Freedom

We travel through tunnels
To explore new worlds,
Seek to find the answers
To what cannot be unfurled.
Fly through the emptiness
To find what is not there,
Breathe in a vacuum-
Although there is no air.
Swim through the ocean
To see what we can see.
Hear and understand the fact
That what there is could never be.
Take it one day at a time
As we stroll through the years.
Become terrified at the throught
That some of them have no fears.
We can cry even though we're happy,
And smile though we're sad.
Everyone has their different views
Of what is good and what is bad.
Losers can be winners
In their own special way,
Things we never saw before
Appear every single day.
A butterfly in California
Can cause a tornado in Japan,
But how does she know when to beat her wings?
All she does is the best she can.
