We the People have been creating cacophony dissonant chords and jagged notes, scattered rests and twisted octaves the chaotic melody vanquishing a weak, sibilant harmony as tritone chords overwhelm the concert while the awkward bass clef fails to signal the start of the ensemble in an imperfect union. We the People have not yet accomplished our orchestral objectives the jarring and unbalanced rhythm flat, staccato, and splintered the staff becoming abstruse, the treble clef abandoning its position as the bass, melody, and voicings belong to different pieces preventing the construction of a pleasing arrangement when the white and black keys are in opposition forming an imperfect union. We the People of the United States are ready now to establish justice fairness and equality the chords pulsing in uniform tempo a smooth cadence every instrument has a chance its voice being heard the harmony fluently resting in the middle following the score and rhythm of the music in order to form a more perfect union. We the People of the United States have voted to insure domestic tranquility protect the nation’s peace the notes calmly flowing through the harmony every note as one working together to rise to the voicings of the chords crescendos and diminuendos vibratos and sustains the mellow rests allowing reflection in order to form a more perfect union. We the People of the United States commit to provide for the common defense protect our nation the sixteenth notes enfolding the eighth notes while the notes of the chords secure one another as the staff is accompanied by the crystalline time signature every musical element flowing to another in order to form a more perfect union. We the People of the United States shall promote the general welfare help people live better when in need the notes intersect with others as the rests make space to accommodate the whole notes every note supporting the other just as the bass, melody, harmony, and voicings Spiral in layers shaping the music in order to form a more perfect union. We the People of the United States with certainty will secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity make sure we are free and remain free as each sharp and flat takes hold of the staff and the quarter notes swell into whole notes for each note, rest, chord, has a role in the symphony to stand out and contribute to the music in order to form a more perfect union. We the People of the United States are ready for a new composition a glorious riot of sound and a jubilant melody ready to lift us up soaring upon triumphant wings of a more perfect union.
