This is an archived blog post from The Acorn.
Where the bigot is without fear and the dead is held high;
Where intolerance is free;
Where the world is being broken up into vote-banks by narrow domestic walls;
Where seats come in the way of the truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards reservation;
Where the clear stream of reason cannot find its way out of the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is herded into ever-narrowing thought and action—
In that hell of reality, my Friend, I find my country astray.
