We became a lonely nation
in 2004 .
Our light has been
diminished .
Suspicion has replaced
our serene and
fair temper .
Fear has taken its
toll and we
have settled for
the false security
of arms and
preemptive war
while the world
watches in
bewildered amazement.
We have struck a deal
with the devil and
as Shakespeare
wrote ; The devil can
cite scripture for his
purpose .
We have lost our
spiritual moorings
and the great
ship of state is adrift.
As winter settles in
we face the cold reality
of an unjust war gone
horribly wrong .
Iraq has become our
prison ~ and we are
being held hostage
against our will.
It is at times like this
that we must go inside
and find, once again, our
core beliefs of what
we once stood for .
For what we once
accomplished and meant
to mankind.
Dedicated at our birth
to the spread of liberty
and freedom ~ we have
become the world's
largest supplier of arms .
We have supported inhumane
dictatorships through-out
the world ~ including Saddham
Hussain ~ both overtly
and covertly .
We have obviously sold
our divine birthright for
mometary and cosmetic
gains.
It has taken its toll and
we have become alone
and mistrusted with all
our excesses.
There is a way out
of this moral quagmire.
And it lies with that
critical minority of
human beings who
continue to make a
stand for human
and spiritual values .
That critical minority
of human beings
who will speak their
truth despite the
risks ~ much like the
9/11 families who
forced the Bush
Administration
to examine its
failed intelligence
policies.
Yes, the hope of America
lies within the hearts and
voices of its people ~ not
within the walls of its
institutions.
The hope of America
lies with you .
