Culture Damning

You're so big it make's me laugh
Northern outlook makes you right
Do I argue, will you fight?
Integer thinking; excluding halfs.

Digital people, thinking too -
Opinions make your thinking starve.
Intensify your wonderless path -
Solid, avoiding wonderings new.

We tell you, but you still seem blank -
    looks like we're the foreign few
A change of outlook - overdue;
For bigger seas, if slightly damp.

But stay, retain your culture -
Future generations may thank
And bigger trees than you once sank
Societies that had no future.

Refinement comes -
Finds a suitor,
History neuters -
Culture's done.
