Long traveling overland waters
they call rivers, small still overland waters
they call ponds, wide still overland waters
they call lakes, water beyond land
they call seas or oceans.  

Lands
that rise above others, hills;
highest rise lands are mountains,
sunken lands, valleys.
Wide oceans of land
are called plains.  

They call their own clusters
cities, suburbs, towns, villages. 
They cluster everywhere, in groups,
near any waters or far from them,
almost everywhere they can stand.

All the groups
call themselves something that means
we the people.  
They call the other groups,
not the people.

They hurt each other.
I think it is on purpose they do,
oddly enough.
They call out a lot of names
while hurting each other,
all different sounds,
though all mean the same.

If I hurt them, though,
impartially, 
not meaning to but doing it 
casually,
popping a mountain or 
raising a sea or wind or rain
enough to soak
or drown them
in fire or wet,

when they call out then?
Oddly, all the noise they make
sounds the same.
