[altruistic]

There is no hierarchy
and no social mores
that keep us at a distance

our families don't forbid us
nor are there any unwritten duties to which we abide
that keep us at a distance

we stand on opposite shores
staring into the sea of our own inhibitions
with blind loyalty to the things that we say we wish to be free of

the branches of our ever budding trees will never touch
as the tides continue to be void of the ships of change
and that will always keep us at a distance.
