WE WAIT…

We wait, for one another,
We wait, for time,
We wait, watch and learn,
We wait, turn by turn.
We wait, while all others wait,
We wait, for how long?
We wait, who will begin?
We wait, cowardice creeping in,
We wait, all together as one,
We wait, why?
We wait, because all others wait,
We wait, for something, somebody.
We wait, an eternal patience,
We wait for one another.
