Where is your village?
Who are your people?
They’ll not make you beg
In your pain, they’re not gleeful
Saving you from unkind truths
A dose that’s real, not lethal
Your people will stay
And help to guide
Work with and for you
Through the noise they’ll abide
Standing next to you
They will not hide
Your people love you
It’s easier than anything
They are a salve
In a world meant to sting
They let you take care of them
A symbiotic wellspring
It’s not always perfect
Like two ups and one down
But they are there when needed
When called, they’ll come ’round
There ’til the end
From the sky to the ground
