Democracy lives

Quest for a more perfect union, by any means necessary

We the people, of the United states...

Our Country has become a people of spoiled, entitled and frankly a nation of ungrateful whiny Adults. Children knows right from wrong, bad from good, black and white, but as of today, us Adults choose to vote against the interests of themselves and others. Why are we so afraid of Healthcare for all? Why are we afraid of "Black lives matter"? Why are us Christians hateful towards follower's of Muhammad?

And the most urgent of all questions...why is there a percentage of people in our country, openly in favor of sacrificing their own grandparents, "Grandma and Grandpa", "Nanna" just for for the sake of rescuing the economic prosperity of our nation? What the hell have our morals have morphed to?

And where is the Church in this Pandemic? Where is their outrage of hundreds of thousands that are dying in our country, a country that is blessed...a country of "sweet land of Liberty...of thee I sing"? "The Word" is still being preached on television, and radio, and no doubt the church world is suffering...but a large percentage of the Evangelical nation are in support against the healing those that are without...those that are suffering...homeless...in despair...DYING!

DON'T FLIP THIS PAGE...keep reading, damn it, because you know you are wrong...we are ALL WRONG!!! We had been wrong since Europe sent their incarcerated to this country to work for the prosperity of its Union. We had been wrong for the genocide of our country's indigenous people. We had been wrong to capture, beaten, enslave, and rob the esteem of a dark skinned people and to legislate these actions from our highest court...OUR court!!!!

Our fellow countrymen are suffering. Death has become just a daily occurrence, no longer the captivation of the 9/11 catastrophe. Food lines, Unemployment, people losing their homes and the "capitalists" who purchase on the cheap these foreclosed families homes. Families leaving with their lives in bags, wandering into the abyss of uncertainty, confusion, and despair.

Yet, Government won't act. Government want corporations shielded from lawsuits because of this pandemic and if not agreed upon, they won't help you, or me, anyone who live day to day, worrying, praying, hoping.

Yet, Government is ok with issuing an abundance of lawsuits to turnover an election that had already been won. The norms of a peaceful transfer are being thwarted, no concession, no assistance to the incoming administration. Some of our elected leaders are met with threats of violence, and kidnappings while opposing leaders remain unstirred and detached. All this occurring in the thunderous applause and the roar of the religious fervor of the few.

But a Race of people, in Detroit, Philadelphia and counties in Georgia has stopped the tide of the ongoing tyranny. A people fully engaged in voting for the interests not only of themselves, but for fellow countrymen, regardless of race, religion, creed or color. A determined people that is now under the scope of lawsuits, and innuendo; a certainty that in future, Government will amend it's voting procedures.

And now...leaders are considering secession of the Union...imagine that... Autocracy and Secession. We never have learned from the lessons of the greatest war we all lost, the Civil War. It seems that to this day, there is a longing for an antebellum reboot of a bygone era. The so called "Northern Aggression" is the blame for what maybe an underlying and unresolved seething hate and spiteful loss...and the freeing of the slaves that supported their agricultural economy.

The "Hem" of that Lady in the Harbor are "Snowing"...as if she wants to make haste and run away from here! I don't blame her.

But for now, let us relish on the fact that Democracy now has a chance to live and continue it's rocky, tumultuous quest for a hopeful "More Perfect Union". That...a feeling of confidence that things will get better, and those wandering families will find "home" again. To see healing, laughter, and maybe dancing and joyful shouting in the streets. A hope for a "United" States in hearts and mind of a people regardless of Race, Creed, or Religious Worship.

Is this too much to wish for? Isn't this worth living for?
