Hot steam rising as gears thundering
Beyond the crystal liquid city lights
Highways built across the land
In hearts felt pride American...

After all,
we have all emerged together,
and are still emerging

right?

Our faith includes defining our still humanizing species
as among those not capable...

Coercion began
as the ground surrounds the seed
baring life and truth

allowed to stay home from school
within the four walls
