Un Apologia del Mundo

We got carried away.

It doesn’t mean

we’re bad people

that we’ve all become Nazis.

We continue to be

a big hearted people,

generous, welcoming, kind.

We got swept away in a story.

You understand.

We got scared.

Hoodwinked too,

into believing there was not enough,

and we were powerless.

We forgot about

our “purple mountains majesty,

and amber waves of grain.”

You understand.

Our power lies in remembering

that we “crown our good

with brother hood

from sea to shining sea.”
