Outcry

We have anthems. like "Coffee is our lifeblood." or "Love is forever, love is free." And we feel we can only be ruled through autonomy, no sense of the brotherhood that is a republican democracy. We run on processed sugars, no calories, slowed maladies, and an ever-absorbing self-importance leaving us noses up, fists 'round our wads, name-callin' -- no respect -- where's the turn around? I don't see it yet.
