The Mudsills
(Copyright 2025 by Michael Walker)

The mudsills are rising up
Taking over
The house they built
With the scars 
On their backs
The house they supported
With their broken
Backs
The mudsills are rising up
Why shouldn't they have
A place
At the hearth?
A place
At the table?
No house was made
Without them
No house supported
Without them
Masters in their bubbles
In their gold-lined studies
Extrapolate
This has always been
The way of
The world
The mudsills
Down there
In the mud…
Well look out
The mudsills
Are coming.
