Ideas cannot bleed.
Our youth can.

But what of the man?

People can either die because of or in defense of an idea.

and the idea that is borne today

in these primaries today,

we took ideas

and acted in our own

little

ways.


I hope this will be enough
to save our nation
but I doubt it.

Men are transient
Ideas are not.

The Constitution lives on.
It feels no pain,
It does not bleed.

It can only be forgotten.

Breath deep.
and decide.



(Thanks to Guy Fawkes)

1. Thanks for the recommendations and I can certainly understand why many do not care to attach a name
to something as odd as this.

Cheers.
