Self-Evident Truth

—

An island in Charleston Harbor. 

Fort Sumpter.

Bombarded. 

Defended.

A fort 

In a harbor 

Of a country 

Divided.

Alternate visions.

Hostile accusations.

Disparate interpretations

Of governance

And humanity

And truths thought to be self-evident  

Reaching still 

For the vast expanse of those original words.

ALL – CREATED – EQUAL.
