The idealism was perfect at the time. Yet times move on and certain parts are outdated and don't hold resemblance to modernity. Nor a 'civilised' culture a culture where all people's should be equal. It'll be great to see the country live up to such ideals. We can but hope.

An excellent tribute to our nation. We need more people to speak up and take a stand.

Like the constitutions of so many nations, the ink is dry and the intentions are clear... but circumstances and actions are so lacking! Once our societies become humanist then any semblance of Laws under God become somewhat redundant. A well-penned ode to what once was - and again could be if the great tide turns. xx

Your poem confirms the thoughts of the signers of that great document. Unfortunately, while many people believe those signers did so, the words, "Under God Indivisible," were added in the 20th century by those that believe we should have a religious state, something that the signers of the Declaration wanted to avoid by staking their lives on it.

The Declaration of Independence is being sorely pot to the test by the despot who currently resides in the White House these days.
