INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF HUMANITY.

ADDRESSING DISCONNECTION AMONG HUMANS... In Poetry work.

Why so much segregation? Why so much separations? Why so much selfishness? Why are people so self-absorbed?
These are some major dysfunction of our humanity and growing pandemic of our new generation.

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS?

"Per chance, he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill, as that he knows not it tolls for him; and per chance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me, and see my state, may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that".

No man is an Island, entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manner of thine own
Or of thine friend's were.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.

Literal Understanding:
No man, is entirely on his own. A man is a single piece of the whole entire men kind in the universe. Every man needs to be concern about the problems of one another, the way he will be concern about his own individual problems.
It is a great loss, to the whole entire generation of men, when a broken piece (of men / a man) falls out of the whole pack of men as a single unit. For every man is meant to be involved working together in the progress of all men.
Therefore, never inquire to know, WHO?, whenever you heard of a man misfortune such as Sickness, Poverty, Incarceration, Death, or any social hills, in other to know maybe you should be concern or not. You need to be concern regardless of whoever it is. The misfortune of one man, affects the whole entire men fold as a whole, and it is also your own misfortune as a man. Regardless of whom the misfortune occurs to, a loss of another man diminishes your purpose as a man.


A WORD FOR THE WISE:
First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

The tolling bell tolls, It toll for thee.
