My sister was deeply religious. Her light burned so brightly.
She died 20 years ago but lives on in so many ways. She felt that the centre of our entire nation’s moral compass was shifting and there would come a time when we would be called to declare where we stand. And it would be hard for some.
The GOP let the world know where they stand, all but a couple.
Now it’s our turn.
She used to say. “It is no mistake that you are here NOW on this earth. You go through your days and your character is forming and ONE DAY YOU WILL BE CALLED TO STAND.”
The devil indeed is holding the seat of power in the USA. Can he keep it, though? I believe that righteousness and justice will prevail. The resistance is gaining momentum. ❤️
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." - Nelson Mandela. You and your nervous system triumphed this day; congratulations. This poem is brilliant.
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in a long time! You’ve summed up the essence of rage so many are feeling right now. You are so encouraging and lighting the most important truth to speak our own truths of our peaceful unity to save the idea of what our country can still be.
Wow, beautifully written and true to what is happening in our Nation.
Our goodness will prevail, and it will not end well for these evil-doers. But how much damage will be done, before they are stopped and held accountable for their traitorous deeds?
John Cleese from Monty Python has said that it always makes him happy to see trump playing golf, because it reminds him that Hitler shot himself in a bunker 🤠
Thank you for being brave enough to write this poem of truth. Thank you for posting it. It should be set to music and sung at rallies. printed into little booklets and shared in cafes and outdoor neighborhood book exchange cabinets. Keep writing. We need your voice.
