ONE NATION UNDIVIDED
WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL
"9/11's lightning will always burn,
Branding us with the scars of terror's fangs:
Forging, now, new American resolve
To control fate's dark reins - mount our powers
To stomp terror out: singing Earth's new songs,
Anthems to whistle while we work the towers. . .
THE BRAVE NEW TOWERS OF BELONGING."
[From 9/11-2001 - Ode in ALTARPIECES - composed 9/11-2002]
Jihadist threats have lessened - internal terrorisms have evolved. COVID-19 surges.
"Under God" was not in the Pledge of Allegiance as I was (still am) "GROWING-UP."
AND THE "HOLD ON" IS DAILY REAL AS HOLDING HIGH THAT TORCH !
