People Are the Place

Towns and cities fill our lands
no matter where they are
if they didn't have anybody
they would be like an empty jar

What would your town be like?
no business would they need
if no persons were to be there
what would their point be indeed

So it's the individual that matters
joined together in a people group
that's the reason for it's existence
working together to be a better troop

So it's the people that's important
the towns character is thus made
from all our experiences and effect
so it's reputation doesn't fade

The place are really the people
that's what makes it swim or sink
remember you've your part to play
ponder that makes your mind think

(people make the place, town or city, without them they're wouldn't be any, just some thoughts on this to ponder.)
