Schools of fish, thousands swim together
to confuse and allude capture by predictors.
Newly hatched turtles scramble in droves
across the beach headed for the sea, hoping
in their numbers to escape birds of prey.
Salmon together in numbers swim up-
stream annually to spawn. Hungry bear
feast with delight on their catch, but
are powerless to catch them all.
Birds of a feather flock together and
migrate south in the fall.
There is safety in numbers, my friends, a
herd, a school or flock mentality if you will.
Nature has its way of insuring the survival
and propagation of myriad species.
Humans gather in groups, congregations,
masses, throngs, crowds and so on. Personally,
for my safety when alone and threatened by a
gunman, a mass-shooter or a suicide bomber,
I’d prefer a solid rock to hide behind.
Should I be confronted by a bad play or movie,
subjected to a poor speech, recital or rambling
lecture, simply walking away will do.
