Pipe Dream

Pipe dream:

That men like Sessions and McConnell,
from the South,
could one day see the opportunity before them,

to address their own countrymen [sic] and call them upward
to defend and abide by the Constitution of the United States,

to "form a more perfect Union,"
to build bridges of understanding and
heal the wounds of division, and

then go to their graves
having bourn the burdens of greatness,
even in the latter days of their lives.

It's never to late to be great,
in the grasp of the issues,
and to hold before the Land an
exalted vision of the Common Good.
