The connection walks with the crowd
down the road of many miles
with the track winding back
and the future still showing lack
the casualties of the past
seem discounted in the now
never count these out of hand
foundation laid by consequence
tens to thousands stepping forth
these travelers more than kin
strangers standing outside of blood
while their own is put upon
the single digits evoked a flood
now the masses are the crush
connections walking to be heard
with outlanders of common cause.

The poem “Outlander” is about coming together for a common cause, one that a larger society has resisted, even while progress has been made.
