On A Clear Day

Something To Think About

        On A Clear Day

What the state gives, the state

Can take away.  As is seen,

                and so ruthlessly 

Clearly, in the case

Of Red China today.

                    So, let that be

          a warning, and

          a lesson.

          But what if the state

                    is Us

                truly

                        living up to

Our highest potential, and not

       a special class

                   ruling

                 over us?

                             Something

         to think about,

                   eh??

     On a clear day???

Like the end of a year

                        in fear

Of the future????

                As in the case

                  oh, say

       of civl war

       

                   bending us

      to an inferior

               notion

      of our potential,

              and not

      of the highest,

         beckoning;

                 even

       beseeching.

      But there, still,

            waiting

             for us

             to fall

              into

                it:

           the pit

        of despair.

   (As we have done

           before

        and even

           often.)

       Come, Us.

       We can do

            this.

       Leading to

        a brighter

          future

       than ever

         before

         on this

         sorely

      put-upon

         planet

            of

        choice.

  May we rejoice

            in

   our outcome.

   The highest

       simply

     awaits us.

   But it is not
   a foregone
   conclusion.
   Remember
      the role
   of free will
          in
   the Drama.
    Just play
    your part

      well
 and you'll
   be right.
