In This Land of Hope

Weaving the labyrinth of the tyranny of time, let not the chartered task waiting ashore become a victim of the rising tides of apathy between our temple pillars of faith and hope. Rather, in the due time coming let us be anchored, resting our sails in the waters of persistence and determination to stand and do the right thing to return our nation to its tenets of justice and equality. Let us not allow the founding code of beliefs on which the foundation of this country was laid become mere footnotes to the keloid history that certain historical tyrannies have overshadowed. History—Ourstory—has and continues to teach us many lessons; plain and simple, as well as allegorically. Let her lessons be our guide in dismantling bigotry and injustice; recommitting ourselves to molding a nation of peace, love and unity.
