No better angels

After Hebrews 11:1-3 and Psalm 2

Life liberty pursuit of happiness

(or, better, achievement of happiness)

we the people of the people

for the people by the people

vote vote vote

give give give

lobby lobby lobby

(snark) (snark)

nation plots nation rages

leaders chase without leading

followers forget to follow

we plot we rage we take our stand

I know me and me sets me free

unlocks the chains

happiness at my fingertips

within my grasp

mine mine me my eyes

my demands my feelings

a house without foundation

cannot stand will not stand

our natures have no better angels
