Sculpting human: Tinkering out-loud

( The precursor . . . ) Who you are and what you are is your personal dream. It is only when you speak it into the stream of the world that you can claim to be a member of A Living Society. It's your obligation to do so and the only way that others like yourself (your real family) are gathered together into collective efforts - to make the world new again. ~

It seems to me that the Democratic-spirit and the Poetic-spirit are so similar that they may be understood as interchangeable without damage to either. Percy Shelley's statement about "Poets" being " . . . The unacknowledged legislatures of the world" calls us to that more rarified battleground where our strongest moral sensibilities insist (as the modern expression tells us), that we "SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER"! This particular modern-prophets' apprehension proffers the image of the glory of one president i.e.; Donald Trump in handcuffs and a felony-orange jumpsuit!

The obvious error in " . . . To Create A More Perfect Union" is that it doesn't capture the defining character of a free society creating its government in perpetuity. I thought I might be able to simplify that understanding.
