once upon a time...

fifty stars
did shine so luminous
with enlightenment
and red signaled the stop
to violence and oppression
blue waters led to a land
of the free
where white pages
fill with colors to shape our history

but those pages
are being burned
and many the stars
now invisible
complete darkness swallows society's entire existence
no longer indivisible
no longer standing

the question:
what is liberty and justice for all
without liberty and justice for America?

don't let this be
The End.

for The United.
