National Debt
Three hundred ninety-eight years,
exceeding Plymouth,
transgressing ethics,
plaguing the nation
with
abiding,
mounting,
debt.
Debt
never paid,
never
even
acknowledged
by the debtors,
not always
even understood
by those
to whom
the
debt
is
owed.
Mounting,
though,
and
costing
both
debtor
and
creditor
trillions in
dollars,
years in
lives,
for lack of an initial,
“We’re so sorry,”
and a
“Here’s what we
plan to do."
Know now,
all ye people,
that the
apology
must be made,
debt
must be paid,
injustice
must be stayed.
The dollars
must be tallied.
The lives
must be counted.
The debt must be calculated,
in
excellence of education,
imparted
with
liberty
and
justice
for
all.
