Where can I find a summary of the poem 'We Are Many'?

"We Are Many" is quite a short poem (by Pablo Neruda 1904-1973.)

In Related links, below this answer, is a link to a copy of the whole poem.

Here is one possible version. (But if you have been asked to write a summary, it would be better, and quite easy, to do one for yourself!)

---- -Summary-

Of the many people that each of us are, which one are we really?

When I think I am clever, the fool in me speaks.

When I am ready to be courageous, a thousand reservations reveal the coward that I also am.

Instead of being a rescuing fireman, I find myself the arsonist. What's wrong with me?

What I lack in myself I admire in others. I envy all those fearless heroes. I envy the cowboys. I even envy their horses!

When I want to be dashing, I am just plain lazy.

Who am I? How many am I?

If I am many, whom shall we yet be?

I want to know who I really am, in case I ever need myself!

As I write I am far away, so far that I can't find 'me' anymore.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Maybe the answer lies, not in terms of self, but in terms of geography!
