Borders


All creatures evolving on the earth,
are bordered by their circumstance of birth.
By river, mountain, ocean, heat or cold,
contained within these boundaries till old.

Birds of the air are free to fly,
but their flight territories bordered by.
Fish of the oceans free to swim,
but not free to swim in water's grim.

But humans have no borders, bounds.
Wherever we go, creating new towns.
We create boundaries with property rights,
with mores, edicts, laws and legal fights.

No limits to discovery of time and space,
finding out what boundaries need replace.
A fine line between grace and disgrace.
Ignorant mores and borders we must replace.

We must create borders by war no more.

Studies show that most humans are followers. They do not
want to take personal responsibility for their actions.
Their actions anchored by something they believe in. By
circumstance of their genetics and environment, they bond
with and remain loyal to any strong leader in their midst,
regardless of where that leader takes them. When leadership
provides safe haven by ridiculous borders, we have disputes
and wars that seem endless..
