Seven Years

Even after seven years, it still stings for some. Even after all this time, politicians use the day to advance their policies and to shame others into obeying. Even in this day in time questioning one's patriotism is a regular thing. Even after eight years of dilapidated policies. People are still buying into placid living even when we have a choice of hope. Everyday I ask myself, "What happened to us, as a country?" Intruding on other country's own right to exist for our own selfishness. However, on the horizon we can see the coming fight to be the best, yet we sit idly by and are letting it all slip away. Eisenhower warned us in his farewell address to the nation at the end of his term. Irresponsibility has an undercurrent of hypocrisy.

What happened to the symbolic respect we had for one another after that day? The day where we were all Americans. Blessed to live in this nation. God bless every nation and their people. God bless the world. Peace may never come but we can try.
