I am the people and the neighborhoods,
the pretzel vendor and the bank president,
the silver spoon child and the child who hungers.
I am public forum and barroom debate,
an investigative reporter and his angry subject,
the jury's patient search for truth,
a silent vigil outside City Hall,
and I can hear, on this humid summer night,
the voice of history's resounding approval.
