The More Aggressive Poem by Francis Duggan

'Tis true there is security in numbers and in the weight of numbers there is might
When the noisy miners in aggressive flocks assemble they attack and put other birds to flight
The wild kingdom not unlike the Human World the aggressive colonize and multiply
The less successful always are the peaceful that's how it is the true facts never lie.

'Tis said the Meek the Earth will inherit with such thinking
I would like to agree
But in the human World as in Nature's kingdom there is advantage for those who don't believe in harmony
The more aggressive insure their own survival security in numbers so they say
The Meek the Earth they never will inherit the agressive rule 'tis always been that way.

The swallows o'er the park fly in the sunshine they are not restricted to a territory
They do not have borders for to wage war at the swallows seem such peaceful birds to me
Perhaps if we could learn from the swallows on others we would not impose our will
We would learn to live in harmony with others though that to us seems an elusive skill.

The more aggressive insure their own survival that's how it is and 'twill always be that way
It is so obvious in the Human World and I see it in Nature every day
The noisy miners are one good example they keep on expanding their territory
They attack in flocks and all others flee before them and all other species are their enemy.
