Collective Illusions Poem by Ali Farah

Collective Illusions



I, the individual is in a crisis of Identity
I, is influenced by We, the crowd 
I, is in search of belonging to the power of We
I, naively jumps in the bandwagon of We
I, dances in the drumbeats of We
I, buys into the emotions of We
I, loses focus in the  illusions of We
I, is no longer itself in the leadership of We
I, is at war with the madness of We
I, in the end drowns in the sea of We

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I am baffled by the total change of behaviour when an individual joins a group.
We tend to lose our individual thinking capacity in the the collective illusions.
