E Pluribus Unum

“E Pluribus Unum”
And so on they say,
“Out of many, one”
And believe what you may
It won’t be one from many,
It’s not built that way
Its shape changed years ago
When power corrupted, blinded, swayed.

“E Pluribus Unum”
The intent of the Fathers
No longer a factor,
Considered but not obeyed.
Discarded by those who wished,
Planned to take what they may.
And “Unum” no longer existed:
Dreams from the Fathers dismayed.
Read the rest of the poem here.

    SIB here. Give me a contact address in the next hour so I can write you. If you can't get to it by
    1 PM, I'll get back to you again after the holidays.
    I have something to share.
