A Patriotic Pledge

I Pledge Allegiance

To this World Country,

To earth and sea and air, cherishing

All creatures, known and unknown,

seen and unseen,

And to the United State of America

And all the republicans, democrats, homeless,

And melting-pot others

For which it stands

In Oneness,

Within God,

Indivisible

All ways,

In truth and inner freedom, liberty,

Social justice, equality and happiness,

Fulfillment and health insurance

For all,

De-light & harmony

for
Ever.

  3. Definitely, the shift in consciousness that needs to happen. Nationalism is an outdated concept — not to mention inherently destructive.
