The union of lakes, the union of lands,
The union of States none can sever,
The union of hearts, the union of hands,
And the flag of our Union forever!

From the union of power and money,
from the union of power and secrecy,
from the union of government and science,
from the union of government and art,
from the union of science and money,
from the union of ambition and ignorance,
from the union of genius and war,
from the union of outer space and inner vacuity,
the Mad Farmer walks quietly away.

Maybe we should stop doing some of it." I'm just sayin'.

It created in this country what had never existed before — a national consciousness. It was not the salvation of the Union, it was the rebirth of the Union.
