You

You venerate sterility
We venerate fertility

You glorify skin and bones
We glorify health

You suffer in your obesity
We exercise with joy

You love inevitable outcomes
We gamble with life

Power to you is masculinity and strength
Power to us is femininity and fertility

Freedom to you is wealth and independence
Freedom to us is unfettered thought

Beauty to you is cleanliness
Beauty to us is truth

You care
We consider

You know
We think

You run from chaos and uncertainty
We bathe in chaos and uncertainty

You watch television
We read books

You listen to authority
We debate with authority

You trust credentials
We trust intelligence

You nurture the stupid
We nurture the gifted

Work for you is your life
Life for us is what happens between the hours of work

You age alone
We age among our loved ones

You squeeze every drop of life from your bodies
We die in dignity when the time is upon us

You approach God with love or hate
We approach God with curiosity

You defend yourselves from negative opinions
We ask others for the gift of their criticism

You work for ephemeral trinkets
We make lasting investments

You boast of your wealth and status
We boast of our skill

You do not understand us
We understand you

You scorn your own culture
We also scorn your culture

You are weak

You are stupid

You are undone

Not for you the gift of survival

It is only for us, the living, that the future awaits!
