Big Picture

A poem titled "Big Picture" with five stanzas. Stanzas 1, 3 and 5 have the same shape. Stanzas 2 and 4 have the same shape. It reads as follows: Union, Justice, and Tranquility That is what we declare Providing no form of enforceability A system without repair We the People work hard Trying to end poverty Killed in our own yard In the name of liberty Provide for the common defense Of those within our party Though it should be commonsense To help everybody Promote general welfare Even if it's not accessible Those who provide care Treated as if replaceable Securing the blessing of liberty For those who afford it Getting no rights over our anatomy Treated like a puppet

See the big picture of what is happening in society. Do our actions reflect the values we claim to uphold?

A broken system needs repair beyond the superficial level. We must be willing to change old patterns for new ones to emerge.
