in law and in practice and in social life,
-

-
All the while remembering this all must occur now
-

-
destruction, starvation and tremendous untold,
-

-
Or let me give you one last little question.
-
I love asking questions
-
I don't have to stand up right now and answer.
-
Would Reconstruction be a preservation of something old,
-
or the creation of something truly new?
-
And if it's going to be new, how new?
