Divided

  Oh America, how I have mourned for you. For you were birthed from the highest of ideals, you have risen quickly from a fledgling nation not long ago, into the greatest power that the world has ever known! There is a reason for your success, for you were founded on a footing of solid granite, because God was your foundation, your birthright, One nation under God, indivisible.
  But what has happened to you, why is it that you are so divided? Once before we were divided like this, and a Civil War was fought over it, and hundreds of thousands died! But this time it is worse, because the country was a fraction of the size then as it is when compared to today. But why? Still over race? Wasn't that dog put down for good when the country elected a black man? Of course there are still problems, but the only way to work them out is in a united front, we cannot do it divided. When problems this important come about, the nation turns it's eyes to the president for leadership. What the nation needs to hear are healing words, words that will assure us that we are still one nation! But what do we get instead? The President of the United States, the leader of the free world, and the Attorney General of the United States, the highest ranking law enforcement official in the land, cry racism?  No healing words were offered, no words that could close the wound forever? Mr. President, Mr. Attorney General, were these accusations made to heal or to further divide? Our leaders can no longer be trusted, so it is up to the people to make again the words of a great man come true, and that is that This nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed, and become again, One nation under God, Indivisible! Amen
