Founding Fathers

There were no blueprints in those early days;

Just ragged tomes and scrolls from eons past

With cryptic jargon and philosophies

Of overstated misbegotten text.

 

The pieces are all there in scattered scrawl

Laid out before the gathering to weigh.

The gallant and outspoken breathing fire

As they beat their chests and cry for liberty.

 

Consensus fails to fill the room with glee

And harmony is but a poltergeist

Who manifests in vague chimeric veils

To dance and shift and gel to solid type.

 

And in the end their grand epiphany 

Befits the will of all who would be free.
