The People
Centrist and moderate
The silent majority
The melting pot
The inexorable movement of a people
Because for all attempts to stop us
At all borders and with barriers,
We move
We are the most
Inexorably living, anyway
Maybe rudely, maybe with elegance
Bearing style
Or dirt from head to toe from growing things
(or both)
We cannot be stopped
Nature is with us
Insanity might say,
We’ll stop you with a bullet
Though before it runs out of ammo
Another force will kill the guns
Horror, shame, or for despots
Lack of profit
There is a story of a mountain people
I mean people who are mountains
Who look down on the plains
To see ants fighting without earning food
Or materials for homes,
For they cannot make the trails
Only one set: for warfare or for building
The mountain people are bewildered
And are always powerful
And now must contemplate
Relearning the ants or, failing that,
Clearing off the plains (for people who are
mountains it would be easy)
Allowing other species with the skills and
With forbearance
To have the fertile earth
Someone is watching now
To measure up the borders
All of them
