We Are We

Time

By Maya PilgramPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

We are We

Time is the one true measure

We are just miniscule speckles in a plethora of unexplored territory

We are we

We try to stick a unit of measure to something that is unfathomable

We? You and me.

We know nothing

We know everything.

We know everything about our everything

We know nothing about the true everything, which is the universe.

An unexplainable concept that we attempt to explain through space travel

Even through 1000 millenniums we will not be capable to understand the distinct foundation of its true internal philosophy

Which is time.

Time is everything

Time is nothing

There is nothing we can match to it or with it

It just continues

It is the only true constant thing

Time

Time

Time

We are always running out of it and if not then we constantly want it.

Which is why it is established in us to want what we can’t have

There is never enough time.

“I want more time”

But in space there is none

We still stay the same

But this very planet and this very atmosphere that we pay so much respect to is holding us back Holding us back from ever truly reaching our real potential as a species, as a human race

It is a hard concept to grasp but we are too concerned with the wrong things

Not I

Not You

We

I is we

And

You is We.

We Are We.
