A CALL AND RESPONSE


A country is a person.

A country is a noun, to be bought and sold.  I have a deed. 


The ruler’s disposition and rules determine the state of being for 
      all constituents. 

Each state governs itself without respect for individuals.  It’s everyone 
      for themselves.


Power is dangerous when wielded in the hands of one.  It is meant 
      to be shared. 

I was given this position by cunning, by money, by sex, by family, by God.  
      It belongs to me and no one else.


We cannot own anyone else, people, the lands, or resources.  We 
      are here to care for each other.

We are right.  We build walls to keep anyone who is not like us out of 
      here.  God gave us these lands.  We separate children and cage them 
      because they are breaking our God’s law.  


Every increment of any thought, action, or deed matters, has 
      consequences in all directions. 

Not if you can make a law:  Not if it passes the Supreme Court.  Not if we 
      can pay for it.


There will be no balance without all voices present in the power circle. 

You will never earn your way here.  You are the wrong sex, wrong color of 
      skin, wrong sexual orientation, not my religion, not my language. 


We are making our grandchildren’s world with our words.  We 
      perceive a world in which everyone sits at the table together, 
      with enough for everyone. 

​“We will make this country great again.”
