What
distant land is this?
In the distance, I
see people gathering. There are
tall ones and small ones; there is the Caucasian, the African, the Asian, the
European, the Middle Eastern, and other oddballs from around the globe.
I myself am an oddball. I
think for myself, I vote, I pay taxes, and I love this country.
Built on the sweat of young men long ago, we truly do not comprehend the
price that was paid to establish the railroad tracks, to deliver mail by pony,
to lay down one’s life for one’s country.
I can only hope that possibly Karma does play a part in the evolution of
America. Is it not possible under
this belief system that one who lived the life prior, would wish to live in
better circumstances his next time around? Considering our creation and recreation of the
United States has been an expanding experience.
We landed some 400 years ago in this timeline from countries like Spain,
Britain, Scotland, Ireland, and quite a few from the European arena.
These first fruits or the original population of the United States. We
have learned that all people can make great mistakes by interpreting religion
wrongly. Had our country truly
practiced the teachings of Jesus; the Native American would have shown us a way
to incorporate nature and technology. I’m
sure had we followed what we so readily admit to believe, we all would have an
opportunity to go to heaven. Therefore,
it is important to remind others that things like this were committed in the Old
Testament- not the New Testament. How it’s nice to be able to go to church and
try to learn the ways of peace. However,
how very honorable for every warrior who dies for this country.
Young men and now women, are dying throughout the year, so you as an
American can watch TV, go to dances, and engage all democracy has to offer
within the Republic. I never let
myself forget that blood is being spilt, so I may enjoy fireworks on the Fourth
of July. It makes me proud knowing
I registered for the draft in case I was ever needed to defend this land.
I am 37, and I would still commit myself to the service if ever there
came a threat to harm America’s unity. I
do not wish for young people to be dying for racism, hate groups, or anarchists.
These people are limited in understanding “True Americanism.” Undefined inclusiveness, it fills our hearts with
the Pledge of Allegiance. It makes
us stand tall and take great pride in the red white and blue.
It defines our character when we say; we will not stand for injustice.
It shows our courage and ability to face of the most despicable
disturbing tragedies. Can you not see? I
am an American!!! You cannot take away my hope in God. You cannot commit too many infractions against the
Constitution of United States. Those
who attack America are jealous because God believes in a new way of life~ For
the world. A life richly defined by
guidance and submission to independence. The
liberty that is a blessed female, resides on our land.
May the Fourth of July remind you why you call yourself an American
citizen… Thomas
