i pledge allegiance to this world
and to all life contained within.
one soul,
indivisible under god,
with respect and love for all.

personally, if it came to a fight, i’d pick the side that’s gonna win. i am not willing to die for any man-made boundary. there are other ways to show allegiance besides fighting.
