I think that for the last 5,000 years <br />the whole world has been trying to survive on <br />one breath of air. <br />Billions of people <br />all intaking the same breath, <br />and praying it won't be their last. <br />I think that <br />we're all united by the commonality <br />that we're all lost causes <br />living on that one breath <br />and any minute God could come down <br />and swallow up our share <br />and leave us desolate.<br /><br />Lesley Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/breathing-11/
