I love America for This Reason Too


I love America because we seem to have enough fortitude
in the face of a political system that is skewed to serve
the wealthiest and the most powerful,
to gather as the the people
- a tiny group - called Occupy Wall Street and
within a few weeks
kindle a massive addition to the global democratic revolution
that we associate with Tahrir.
I love the fact that we have helped to spawn
the structure of the future,
the resurgence of face to face community,
the reclamation of space as public in balance with private,
 the sense of life as progress not stasis and
the affirmation of spirit beyond all creeds.
This is the America Walt Whitman saw at
in his highest moments.
