I think of the children separated from their parents – how horrifying for all of them – and do these people who invoke these rules and actions read history or is it that they think that this is all okay – the cruelty of it all. Why?
It is hard to not speak out about what is going on and about current events of the recent past.
As I sit here, trying to work, my mind also wanders to Santa Fe, Texas. Weeks later. Now into the summer months… Those parents of lost children and the students affected – how do those people cope? This event was a life changer. Never again the same… Everyone, affected or not directly – most feel something. If they don’t, there is something terribly wrong. Obviously there is – something terribly wrong.
Then, I think of the recent events in New Jersey. I shudder and fear the next headline. I fear it could be here – or anywhere… It is no longer terrorists from abroad – it’s now becoming the symptom of a very sick nation – boys with guns – angry boys – delusional boys – grown up babies parents who have lost control of their kids’ upbringing somehow – enabling them to become estranged and mentally ill.
This is the stuff of science fiction, but it is real. It is a nightmare, but we are all awake.
I know that “who is in charge” doesn’t care about our children, let alone most of our adult inhabitants. ?
I wonder. Is it that there is a wiring issue in their brains? How can they possibly think that this is right? Not today. Not now. Not ever.
It seems that there is no one to help. The “leadership” are themselves delusional, and misdirected. They are acting without a moral compass. The “leadership” is killing off any goodwill that was held in the past. It is like that word is not in their vocabulary. The words “hell bent” come to mind – or perhaps, “hell bound”.
I pray every day for this situation to correct itself – or for some intervention from the great beyond – from the Hand of God… If and when that happens, as usual, it is not what we expect – in form or fashion. 9-11 united us, but it also split us apart in many ways. Corruption is a terrible thing. Seven sins.
We as individuals can speak out and we can vote, if we are allowed – but even that is questionable in some states these days – But when those in charge don’t want to listen, we are powerless to exercise our rights – our rights are disappearing into some sort of void.
My forefathers are rolling over in their graves (or urns). This is not America anymore – not the one of which they dreamed….
