The Moment

We are a people
lost along the way
leading from liberty
ours to liberty for all
as fearful we founder
on the shoals of hate
we are blindmen led
by captains blinded
by their own will

This the moment
Here our Rubicon
to seek for a destiny
to match our history
Are we to be a nation
for the few or of any
who loving liberty
respect diversity
as a free choice

“The moment of the rose and the moment of the yew tree
Are of equal duration. A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments . . .” ~ T.S. Eliot
