Omission or Admission?

What is so hard about admitting truth? When we hide it, we hurt those around us. Maybe it is just a small omission and only for a short time, or maybe it is something you keep hidden out of fear and it is for a long time, and it is something that you keep from those in which you love. They find out the omission and are hurt by it, trying to figure out if it is something they have done, said, or just maybe it is them that have made you omit this. Keeping secrets is tricky thing; to some it isn’t really keeping secrets it is keeping personal personal. To others, it is personal. It is showing that the importance of everything may not be as much to one as it is the other, or maybe secrets are kept because it is only supposed t be a secret and you’re starting to finally realize it.

America the Blind?

As an American, I sit here bewildered as we approach the final hour’s candidates and searching for those who will represent the two parties, even if we define them as the two parties anymore. I say that because we have gotten lost in a jumble of greed, power, terror, and strife and have lost the vision in which we ever founded this country. Instead of worrying how a person will lead our country in and out of battle, how they will define our country in economic hardship or surplus; we instead question the propaganda of their faith and how their religion could affect their ability to lead. We are focusing on color, gender, and faith completely ignoring the words “All Men Are Created EQUAL”. We were founded on the notion of rising from the opposition and force of powerful families and powerful sects, yet we allow them to dowse our political platforms with unyielding nonsense and wishy-washy stances just to say “VOTE”. Are we going to be pressured to vote just because they say; it would good for our country for a woman to lead? What if she isn’t qualified, do we still allow her to run our futures because of our past? They say vote because it would be good for our country for an African-American to be in charge? Why? Because of our past, because of a mistake or is he the best for the job? We need to find a place for ourselves past the color, past the gender, and past the faith. We need to find faith in ourselves again and find where it was we started, when we believed in One Nation, Under God and we were not punished for saying it. We need to find ourselves and go back to where we can freely speak out about our parties and have knowledge, not just what was on the scroll at the bottom of CNN or Fox News. We need to put effort and pride back into our country before we bury Her in a pile of self-absorption of greed, lies, and heresy.
