On Things Unfolding

I was recently

          inspired

           to write

                 that

       I was one

Of the Founding

               Fathers

                  of this 

                  nation.

                     How

                   could  

                 that be?

                 what

           was that

                     all

About??  I have

Wondered……

It was in

Philadelphia in

The sweltering summer

Of 1787, where

Our nation was forged

               In the fires 

                 of debate;

                            but

It was sold out

By the Fourth Estate

In our time

And place.

Which has been

                   not only          

                    a huge 

    disappointment

                          but

                   a huge 

Disgrace.

            And yet, we

Are quite probably 

                       those

Who were there

At that time

             and place

Too, and, more-

             over, on

The other side

Of the equation

              governing

Such things

          and righting

Their way out

To a proper

Conclusion; not

                      just

      the temporal 

                      one

                  called

                     forth

                      and

                        for

                         at

 the role-playing

Time...

    So, on that note:

I could have been

                   George

           Washington

                             in 

               but not of

                  the fray;

                          but

                   I could 

                  as well

           have been

                 George

                  Mason,

        who smelled

                       a rat

                    in that 

                 process

                  and yet

              here I am, 

          defending it

               in this life

                        as if

           it had been

                         my

                      idea

                          in 

                the first

                   place.

          Interesting,

     this business,

                  isn't it

         of things

       unfolding… 

   as to that

                 Hell, I

        could even

                      (as

      these things

                      go)

         have been

         Alexander

           Hamilton, 

                    who

          proposed

            a simple

        citizenship

     requirement

     for the office

                       of

the presidency

                    but

            another

       more strict

          example

                      in

        the genre

        prevailed,

              taking

             further

                  into

consideration

      the crucial

                 fact

                 that

the occupant

  of that office

            would

          as well

        become

The Commander

            in Chief

Of the nation's

             military

              forces,

 and therefore

      should not

         have any

       conflicting

          loyalties

                     or

   allegiances -

               like a

    naturalized

    citizen; or a

              DUAL

            citizen

               (hint

               hint) -

         a notion

              that I

         support

            whole

     heartedly,

               over

  and against

 the proposal

         put forth

  by Hamilton

That, for what

It's worth,  I

  oppose

  vehemently

  in 

  this

  time

  and

  place.

What   

              a hoot

       …but what
      a revolting

  development

 this is
Regardless.
