"We Alone," by Alice Walker


We Alone
-Alice Walker

1              We alone can devalue gold
2              by not caring
3              if it falls or rises
4              in the marketplace.
5              Wherever there is gold
6              there is a chain, you know,
7              and if your chain
8              is gold
9              so much the worse
10           for you.

11           Feathers, shells
12           and sea-shaped stones
13           are all as rare.

14           This could be our revolution:
15           To love what is plentiful
16           as much as
17           what is scarce.
