A Decisive Moral Position

We want to know where you stand.
There are three places to stand:
With us, against us, neither.

Neither is the worst. Neither
We hate. We’re taking census
Of with us and against us.

Neither always betrays us.
We will change, of course. Today’s
Moral position may seem

Less or more moral later,
When we are different. We know
This, but we prefer to live

As if we didn’t. Never
Evade moral positions.
We need to see where you stand

To decide whether we can
Claim you, recruit you, or shoot.
And don’t pretend you can’t stand.
