While majorly-involved-
in-getting-their-own-way-
members attended the meet-
ing, the majority stayed away,
weren’t heard from, didn’t
send regrets, and became
the silent majority for a day
sending the message which
didn’t get picked up by those
who attended that the group
can shove it and that the
passive protestors just
want whatever to go away
knowing that if they don’t
show up, two-thirds majority
could never be reached.
While the connivers connived
and a few who saw through
the shenanigans actually
called the others out,
the birds, just to name one,
and obviously the most observ-
able, all continued flying,
hiding, eating, washing, mating
(not observed) all around
the neighborhood oblivious to
the trivialities taken for
serious matters by those who
continued to push the issue
ad nauseam.
