They were short of breathe in the old country,
The mind in seek of space to wander.
So set sail the people of a crowded land,
To the new land in mind, of plenty.
These old people in a place of new
Could breathe with new people in song, in sight and in
spirit of their old place with space and view.
It was the old world meeting the new.
Relinquish, renewal, lost and gain,
Sharing, learning, stolen and pain.
Boundaries were set, cities were founded,
Many men were freed, many moved and still others enslaved.
But through the old problematic quandary arose a miracle born through the carbon smoke to cast a destructive light and a speeding bullet resembling mans eventual improved evolution and maybe, salvation...
An intellectual awakening emerged out of the darkness and she read:
God, Liberty and E. Pluribus Unum.
The documents were drafted with a deep understanding that mans biggest enemy is from with in and so therefore a Constitution was made to challenge an imperfect people of it's time and tomorrow's imperfect people to evolve into a better image.
Oh ponder the photograph before the camera was made.
Imagination, innovation and reflection.
Men who are not free should be.
Men who have no land should see.
Men who make it to the Mountains peek,
Should grant valleys of hope to his lands people who dream,
set a side it's cyclical inception is a society of people who are free to do things.
So she read again: Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
but yet many could never find such elusive happiness,
and maybe they never will.
But through the continued evolution,
one would have to ask;
Are my chances greater to find the elusive happiness,
When I'm free to seek it or would it be better to be condemned at never even gaining a chance?
So thus, the pursuit and evolution continues,
And we the People certainly HOPE that from WITH IN this,
There shall not be any CHANGE.
