above allowing each his piece:
for one must rise; the other fall
in with those conquered hordes in thrall;
and, those who write the story books
will claim they remedied the schnooks.
Do not lay claim the greater good
has been afforded to your care
without first asking what is there
that's protean and understood
to act as one canonical
which keeps each voice still radical.
