Subject: L&J: "The Tulips of Gettysburg," by Paul Mitchell
And may Our vaulted Congress never again
be so arrogant, as to send troops once more
against Their own People. And may this Land
be, once again, indivisible by race, creed,
color, gender, or any destructive political
ideology. And may all who aspire to the
high calling of American Citizenship, be
welcomed with pride, and hope, and love,
regardless of accent or national origins.
For, when We no longer cherish each other,
we stop cherishing Ourselves. And may the
blood they shed enrich the ground from which
the tulips grow, to nourish their gentle signs
of everlasting life. Amen.
/s/ Paul Mitchell
Counselor at Law
