Ask the pilgrims

Every culture
brings with it
some aspect
that is difficult
for the original people of the land
to comprehend
or accept
yet
we have no choice but to be subjected to it
because where two distinct things intersect
there will be friction
ask the tectonic plates
ask the indians who died by droves from the illnesses the pilgrims brought with them
it happens
what is to be done about it
but to accept it
make the best of it
figure out a way to
negatively affect the least
amount of people/places/things
while we all play musical chairs
for whatever amount of time we have to play
in this life
