claiming we are a hegemon
but asserting indifference
forgetting the essential truth –
With great blessings
comes great responsibility...
 
embracing isolation
in an age of information -
Two oceans do not protect us
for we are a global power
with great responsibility...
 
neutrality is not an option
in an age of genocide –
our choices matter...
We must make moral choices
for we have great responsibility...
 
embracing isolation
yet asserting our power
abrogating the rule of law
siding with the autocrats
forgetting our great responsibility...
