Clinton's Walk

From the west to the east,

he headed into the sun, at

times thirsty, sore, but never

deterred

He pressed onward,

convinced his cause was

just, knowing in his heart the

difficulty of the challenge,

presenting his raw spirit to

closed, cold minds... how

to open them?

Will this walk, blistered,

swollen, frustrated by

mechanical problems, will

this walk, revelatory, ecstatic,

linking a scattered nation

across the land, will this trek

for justice, supported by so

many, will it awaken those

in power, who seem

unmoved by the nation's

historic, ongoing travails; is

there is no end to this journey?
