To the Founding Fathers
Your light still lingers in our distant morning,A star that we perceive across the chart our passage by your words, still burningLong after your bright core has been longer do we speak of "natural" rights,Nor can we think that Reason guides our 've been through far too many gruesome nightsTo hope we have reduced our lust to hope remains the engine of our fire,Hope that someday all of us will beHappy in the least that we require:Well-fed, well-housed, safe, secure, and dream we still pursue. Though darkness come,Your wisdom, hope, and courage through us run.
