Is this
the beginning of the end? Now is when we start to fall? Debtors to both foe and friend, Eventually obliged to all? Perhaps we can pull out of this, Electing leaders who will lead, Not stuck in this paralysis, Dreading most what we most need. Each must give that all might gain, Nor ought we shun the sacrifice. Could we but bear the healing pain Equally, we'd pay the price. Dependence on another's will Assumes that we their coffers fill, Yielding ever to their
advice.
