A New Bell for We The People

We must begin with the name of God. One says God and the sea of the people parts. They divide.

But consider:

Do you breath, see, hear, feel, and think? Have you ever loved? Do you feel pain? Do you hurt? And have you ever felt the sorrow of loss? Does a beautiful sunrise touch your heart? Or how about a quiet walk in misty groves? Do any of the seasons move you? Or is it a heavenly body (astral or otherwise) that sets racing your pulse? Is it a flower, or a pet, or a child, or friend, or a lover that lights up your face? Have you ever laughed? Cried? Do you stand, bow, bend knee, kiss the ground, or sit cross legged contemplating and worshiping the divine? Or perhaps for you it is the motion of the sinew or the action of the brow, the rush of the race and the thrill of the victory? Are you here, present, and alive? Do you want to live free to pursue that which moves you? And do you recognize that is your right? Did you answer yes to any of these fellow biped? Then regardless of the beautiful name you call IT or how you know IT, know that we share the same (one and only) God.

So,

In the Name of The God Almighty,

The time has come for We The People to renew the solemn covenant that binds this nation before God and one another, to cast anew a New Bell forged in the burning and undying fires of the furnace of our unified will to Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness that strips away our superficial differences and aligns us as an impregnable unity reflective of our true essence that is indeed We The People, and this New Bell shall ring, loud and with a clear voice, across this great land and in every State of this Union, to resonate in the heart of each free man, woman, and discerning child, and so too that enemies within and without shall hear it and come to know, that We The People remain vigilant and faithful to the trust of our forefathers and grateful of the blessings of the unfettered natural rights afforded to us as free men and women, as one nation under God, and do declare that these rights remain inviolable and inalienable, so help us God.

mk: If this was written by the founders, I would be comfortable with this. And, reading the consideration, I am comfortable with this. If a non-believer can say God, and a believer can say God, and if they know where their meanings overlap is part of a precious thing that they share, then I can say "so help us God", and mean it.
