I Pledge Allegiance
If the poor and the forgotten rose up in our nation, where would I stand? If those in poverty led a successful coup d'etat against the established order, where would I stand? Would I be welcomed by the discarded of society? Would I be considered an ally, a champion of their cause? Or would I be considered an enemy? Would I be bound, dragged away, and tried for the violence I have allowed and participated in through my inaction? In either case, I would find solace in my position. However, I think I would be left alone. With no evidence on either side, I stand neither as liberator or master. I am an unknown accomplice to both sides. My allegiance is only to myself.
