//------------------------------// // Who We Are // Story: Lesser Tales (and Songs) from a Real Life Changeling // by HypernovaBolts11 //------------------------------// Who are we, so tired and lost, that we must ask another for our identity? How did we come to this, in a cold and quiet alley, waiting for an answer? But how would the other know who we are before us? We are beggars, orphans, youngsters and homeless. We walk and wander through the streets, endless. We are wealthy, greedy, dangerous and restless. We take for what we wish, and ignore that which we have. We are quiet, calm, collected and pious. We preach and we pledge to that which we cannot see. We are explorers, conquerors, empresses and kings. We are prepared to borrow, maraude, enslave and slaughter. We are philosophers, engineers, astronomers and scholars. We are willing to learn, debate, research and discuss. Who is to tell us who we are, but us?
