It has been almost ten days since I have written anything coherent, maybe too long for some and too short for others, but for this amateur writer it may not be long enough. I listened to the news, watched the black box, with this world in chaos, and wonder if Armageddon is on its way. Trump is in top form spewing out his lies as truths, thinking no one will catch his misspeak and his nonsense. I wonder when this country will catch on and put an end to this egotistical, power hungry, megalomaniac. It is time for a change, a change for the betterment of this country and all of the folk living in it. It is time to change our direction and include everyone, no matter where they have come from, or what color, race, religion, or political orientation to come together and work with each other.
This country was born from discord and birthed in war. We have, like all people, done great things and also done horrendous things in the name of freedom and democracy. It is time to show that we have not slid back into the dark ages. There is no room in this democratic country for unruly and unlawful violence that is being promoted by this man, who occupies the presidency. There should not be any distain nor hatred of any who do not look, act, or speak in the manner that we deem appropriate. It is time to embrace the age of peace and the ability to work for understanding and civility. It is time to actually talk with our neighbors and not at them. It is time to come together as one people, in unity and equality. The time is now and we the citizens of this country must be the ones to make that change.
