What does
it mean when one says “we”?
Does it
mean our immediate environment, our peers,
Our
friends,
Our
family?
Is “we”
synonymous with unity,
One group,
one people
(under
God
with
liberty and justice
for all)?
What
“Royal We” does one subscribe to and follow,
In that
context of unity
That of
themselves?
Who do we
exclude from “we”?
Whose hand
don’t we shake in church and school,
And
proceed to push from
“We, the
people”?
"We" is kind of a qualified pronoun, isn't it, Justin? Too often we use it to stand apart from "they." -- These are evocative questions.
