Pity the Nation

No matter your politics, this may resonate - but with different sounds.  Pity the nation conflicted between rights and wrongs. Pity the nation where every wrong is another’s right. Pity the nation that confuses emotion with reason. Pity the nation that talks but does not listen. Pity the nation that uses swords rather than words. Pity the nation that uses words as swords. Pity the nation that treats aliens as citizens. Pity the nation that treats citizens as aliens. Pity the nation that has lost its way. --- after Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
