Politics,



And to the Republic,
For which it stands,
Americans:
They make it their business.
The Business they,
casting judgments,
Make, leaving no grain of
sand its own identity for
fear of receiving the very criticism
they cast,
Under God,
with Liberty
and Justice for All.
All who make it their business;
here in America.
