Robinson Jeffers, a poet from the 1920s, penned the lines “Shine, Perishing Republic” to describe his view of America during the Roaring Twenties. He saw a nation teetering on the brink of empire due to corruption. This period of degradation was ultimately overcome, and similar challenges today can also be surmounted.
As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, the country remains a beacon. There is a persistent glow symbolizing resilience and success. Yet, it’s important to acknowledge aspects of decay.
