No Middle
Find your ground.
There is no middle.
Kings and generals
have long known this.
So too have politicians and diplomats.
And now financiers and technologists
are taking up the game
of constructing a world they can rule
from a fictitious middle ground.
But stargazers know
we are all scattered particles
of light and energy,
attracted to
and colliding with
each other.
In an infinite Universe,
only God the Creator
is centered everywhere.
