This descriptive passage won first place in the BookRix "Battle of the Words" contest in September 2009. The theme for the contest was "Obama", and all writing formats were allowed.
It was written prior to when "Obama Care" was passed into law, and explored different sides of the healthcare reform debate from different perspectives. The author attempted to be as unbiased as possible in presenting the different opinions.
While The World Was Young, Nations Could Be Founded Peaceably. There
Was Plenty Of Unoccupied Country, And When Two Neighbouring
Patriarchs Found Their Flocks Were Becoming Too Numerous For The
Pasture, One Said To The Other: "Let There Be No Quarrel, I Pray,
Between Thee And Me; The Whole Earth Is Between Us, And The Land Is
Watered As The Garden Of Paradise. If Thou Wilt Go To The East, I
Will Go To The West; Or If Thou Wilt Go To The West, I Will Go To The
East." So They Parted In Peace.
