America Doesn’t Work

Without justice, life, liberty, peace and happiness America doesn’t work. Right now its not working.

Independence Day, Not Feeling It This Year

This year I am not feeling very patriotic and the Fourth of July seems to be just another day. It seems that a lot of people are suffering around the country and that cannot be ignored. When people are in fear of losing their rights as full citizens there is nothing patriotic about that. Racism and gun violence are on the rise. Children are still separated from their families and that is not worth waving the flag about. America is not a shining city on a hill anymore and there is great sadness there. So, I won’t be saying the pledge or singing the anthem. Nope. I am going to work today and that’s that.

May God give watch over those people in America who at this hour are in need, suffer and are living a nightmare and not a dream.
