Who Are We

Are we a shining beacon of possibility to people everywhere? Or are we doomed to float endlessly in the sea of our own contempt? Who are we? Are we the welcoming light of hope held up on high for all to see? Or have we succumbed to the darkness of hatred and indifference? Who are we? Are we the champion that seeks to set the best example for the rest of the world? Or have we resigned ourselves to accept the requiem of our national conscience? Who are we? Are we capable of finding the greatness within ourselves once again? Or will we endlessly tumble into the unquieted abyss of our past glory? Who are we? Are we doomed to sit in quiet desperation contemplating what once was for eternity? Or will we once again strive to make our greatness more than an empty slogan on a cap? Who are we?
