Sharing: A Poem for Us as Homozapines, "No Man is An Island"

Are we atomized and separated in this digital age? Are we even tired of just thinking to communicate with people face-to-face?

Here is a famous poem that may remind us of what it means to live as a member of a community and what we are to one another. Enjoy the poem and video^-^

No Man is An Island

written by John Donne (1573-1631), 
an English poet and a cleric in the Church of England

No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; 
It tolls for thee.
