...and the war came

...and the war came

Those perilous times

with union aflame..

save or destruct

these choices invite
a fateful game..

war introduced 

and the war came..

what would emerge

from chaos unleashed

was new reflection..

naming the offense

to higher dimension..

war must now

prove its worth

promise to continue

finish that work..

those ancient partners

chaos and order

created together

a nation's re-birth...

Second Inaugural Address
