We became a lonely nation
in 2005 .
Our light has been
diminished .
Suspicion has replaced
our serene and
fair temper.
We spy, torture and lie
in denial of this moral
dilemma .
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
it has taken its toll .
We have lost our
spiritual moorings
and the great
ship of state is adrift.
As the pale light of
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.
Hurricane Katrina has swept
away all pretense and
laid bare the soft corrupt
underbelly
of the Cheney/Bush administration
and the cold reality of John Edward's
two Americas .
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 Saddam
Hussain ~ both overtly
and covertly .
We have obviously sold
our divine birthright for
mometary and superficial
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.
Much like Cindy Sheehan
who forced Bush out of
his bunker and rekindled
the anti- war movement.
Much like Congressman
John Murtha who said
its time to bring the troops
home and
rightfully called Iraq
a flawed policy
wrapped in Illusion.
Much like Senator
Russ Feingold who voted
against the war and also
against
the Patriot Act.
Much like the scores of
bloggers, like myself, whose
relentless quest for the
truth has driven the media
to question versus accept
the lies and deceptions of
the Cheney/Bush Administration..
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 .
