Weep for your nation this day, patriots,  and mourn the loss of liberty that is to come.  Mourn for the generations to come and pray they will not curse this generation too badly for what it has done. 

What has transpired may be for the better for it is the legend of the Phoenix that it must throw itself on it's funeral pyre in order to live again.  Humanity is cursed to never appreciate what it has until it no longer has it.  

Those who rejoice and gloat today will eventually repent when the Piper comes to exact his due. They will eat, drink and be merry today but on the morrow they rue what they have done.
