and the magnificent ruby to old Bombay?
Are we to smelt the silver and mint new
coins to dish out to those most worthy?
To right all the wrongs from our ugly past.
To recognize
the damage caused by uncontrollable

civilizing the world of its innocence. Obedience
and loyalty found at the end of a barrel of a gun.
