A question of the 20th century,
Which ought to haunt us through the following one.
Some of us,
Or should I say most of us, or all of us,
Do not even know their ID,
What it is comprised of,
Where it belongs,
How to change it or adapt to it.

Some people put their ID in the pocket,
They have nothing but greed left.
Some people lock their ID up at home,
They never show their true feelings.
Some people carefully tag their ID to the shirt,
They can always show it off to everyone.
Some people memorize their ID,
They have the simplest answers to the toughest questions.
Some people don't have an ID at all,
They are nomads, traversing the land without any hope.

Some people keep their ID close to the heart,
But even that does not assure that they have one.

ID, or should I say - Id?
