Herds will crowd around a strong opinion.
Whether it’s anti, or pro, dominion.
Like other large mammal beasts of burden…
Folks tend to look toward those who are certain.
Unlike animals, we peeps can aspire.
We bury our dead & we can wield fire.
Yet, even with many stark distinctions;
We can be shepherded to extinction.
Right off cliffs; with the rest of the lemmings…
Just a few outliers hawing & hemming.
Bottleneck of species’ evolution:
Those who seek original solutions.
Them, back of the class or sat right up front.
Middling complacence…that dog just won’t hunt.
