We need a party of the middle class---
one that God will enlarge to overcome
the others, and whose greatness will surpass
all their accomplishments; yes, all, not some.
Author's Notes/Comments:
I have always intensely disliked political poetry and have rarely written it. But this came to me, just minutes ago after waking from a dream. That provenance suggests to my mind that I may not discard this one. A party of the middle class---monotheistic, but tolerant of individlal differences; one that will not inquire in the bedroom, but will engage government backrooms and corporate boardrooms---will restore the greatness of this country as the Framers envisioned it, and not as two party politics have made it. One is shocked to recall that the Framers themselves did not endorse a party system, having seen its qyestionable and darker aspects well manifested in the English parlimentary system. A party of the middle class will shield the poor from the clutches of the wealth, and force the government and publicly held corporations into servant leadership, not the pursuit of filthy lucre, as the Apostle Saint Paul desxribed it. Those that hitherto have worked againsr us, or upon us, or have worked us over need to be compelled, now and in the future, to work for us.
