People have died for an idea, a lot of people, they fought
and gave up their lives because they wanted something better for their
families. They faced hardships, starved and met great obstacles to start
something new and daring. A place where you had freedom to choose your own
destination, religion, opportunity: America was born.
Over time, our perspective changed, what was right and wrong
challenged and again people died for freedoms that we all share. They died to
keep a country united, they died because they believed in something.
The following years there were people who rode the bus
against the rules, dared to speak when they weren’t welcome to, dared to
imagine being equal, being free. They fought, they died for an idea, so their
families could know freedom and justice.
In our current complacent state, there still are wrongs,
there still are injustices but we have come too great a distance to see our
country being divided by the same government that is supposed to unite it. We
have a media that speaks the same language the government speaks and insists
the victims are victims and insist they deserve something, even at the risk of
crippling them.
We have candidates insisting they will make everything
better, again, little hope that we, America, could stand and be America again. I
don’t see us as a country full of victims but if you listen to the news you
would think that’s what makes America.
Police are criminals and criminals are saints, sounds like
an old familiar song. The same freedom soldiers died for allows us to step and
degrade the very flag that allows us the freedoms we don’t, by right, deserve.
We are lucky to live in this country, we are lucky to be able to complain about
how hard we have it, I would suggest instead thank a soldier and thank God we
live in America.
Let us Make America the best it’s ever been!! Together, not
divided, one nation of people, not colors, not creeds-we Americans. Happy
fourth of July.
