I am in standing rock.

We all are on standing rock
upright together on a shared stone
hurtling, lonely, through cosmos.

We are unified
in our need for survival
and a desire for further generations
to flourish
but we constantly bicker
about how.

Be it religion
or abortion
or borders
or placards dividing blue and gray
we find ways to disagree
on everything.

Still
we remain together
on standing rock
traveling together
forever.
If only there were a way
for us to get along.
