The tailor sows
And the wearer refuses to see his nudity
The writer writes
And the reader refuses to read
The seller sells
And the buyer refuses to buy
The doctor learns to heal
And the patient decides to die
The lawyer extends his hands
The culprit chooses natural fate
The teacher teachers the chairs
Learners refuse to learn
Soldiers train to defend
The people reject their defence
If this is the order
Who lives? Who perishes?
The tailor needs the dresser who also needs the writer
Who also needs the reader who also needs the doctor
Who also needs the patient who also needs the lawyer
Who also needs the culprit who also needs the seller
Who also needs the buyer etc. etc. and vice versa
So let’s hold hands.
