The Quest

Old questions,
faced down the ages,
by each generation
and each man and woman
in their own way
and in their own time.
Questions, simple yet profound.
Do we accept:
Each against all?
Survival of the fittest?
Go for the throat?
Rip off your neighbor
before they rip you off?
Or do we:
Work together?
Extend our hands in mutual aid?
Promote peace, equality
and human brotherhood?
Simple questions really,
if you think about it ...
when you think about.
Bill Anderson
