• I AM NOT

  
  

  Currently Reading Archibald Cox: Conscience Of A Nation By Ken Gormley see related

  
  I am not
  the consciences of a nation
  
  I am part of its consciousness
  
  Awakened to the course
  
  showing me where it is going
  
  I cannot change the river
  
  I do not have to follow its course
  
  I must see its end
  
  To help it keep on going
  
  If I am not there
  
  Where will it be?
  
  A conscience who has given up
  
  Has no course left
  
  They follow not their country
  
  Nor care to see where it is going.
  
  A Poeatreeman

  My path is only right
  If conscience is there ahead
  If one can shine a light
  I’ll hope you’ll see ,
  where you’re going
  a course is not changed by one,
  By a nation
  aware of its consciences.
  
  Dedicated to
  President George H. Bush
