America

F. Scott Fitzgerald
described France
as a land,
England as a people,
and avoided
describing America
which is a task
perhaps as difficult
as detaching
the image of the moon
from the reflective
surface of water.
America
is a republic
in which ordinary
human beings
are free to implement
the omnipresent
unalienable rights
and responsibilities
which permeate
holonomic
inner space.
Omnipresent
egoless ONEness
soundlessly sings
of ineffable peace,
harmony,
and wholeness;
mutely murmurs music
each autonomous
emergent entity hears;
unceasingly utters
the wordless lyrics
of unfettered freedom;
continuously croons
the silent song
of emancipation
from the bondage
of deceitful ego.

- A.T. Williams
