I sit here in the apartment looking out across Central
Park with a heart breaking for the ‘Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave’.
Our beacon of light and hope being extinguished by the shadows of hate
spreading out across our country.
Vicious and vile messages to weak and vulnerable
followers spewing from the highest halls in the land linger in the black clouds
above the weakest minds to poison their hearts.
Despots and tyrants throughout history have raised up
the voices of the weak minded with rallies, chants and calls to arms, to fan
the flames of hate and to billow the clouds to blacken out any rays of hope and
love.
The second amendment gives the militia the right to
bear arms and it is this very militia that is now being called on to mobilise
and tear the very soul from our land.
As the shadows of hate to marginalise and radicalise
the weak; doing the very bidding of the enemies of democracy, where will the sickle
strike next?
Are we to wait until the smoke from the chimneys above
the horror chambers blackens the soul of ‘the land of the free’? Will we be
brave and pick up the banner of freedom and exorcise the halls of the viscous
and vile?
Must more innocent lives be lost forever until the
banner of light rises up through the shadows of hate?
Will our souls survive untarnished to vanquish this evil,
or shall we be led by tyranny and forever relinquish the banner of the ‘Land of
the Free and the Home of the Brave’?
Well said. We must stop the hate and devision which accompanies it.Freedom comes at a cost. Always has. From the revolutionary war to all the world wars, we have learned that. The ultimate sacrifice that many have given should not be in vain. If we do not we WILL cease to exist.
