No morning.
No night.
No afternoon sun.
No fog in the trees.
No rainbow in the dew.
No leafs saying goodbye.
No ocean waves.
No fields of grain.
No light on.
To be blind.
Tears not seen.
Despair not seen.
Dreams broken, not seen.
Hearts emptied, not seen.
Innocence used not seen.
Love lost.
Not seen.
To be blind.
Fear.
Fear put out the eyes.
Fear killed compassion.
Fear revoked equality.
Fear drove the heart of evil into the Republican Party.
Their fear grew in a sheltered darkness.
Racism was and continues to be used by the GOP to maintain power.
65% of eligible voters voted in the 2020 presidential election.
79 million people voted for Biden.
73 million people voted for Trump.
73 million people shut their eyes.
73 million people closed their minds to the truth that Trump represents.
73 million people agreed that white privilege trumps the American ideal of equality.
73 million people agree that immigrants, black and brown people, women, gays, liberals are not welcome in their vision of what America is supposed to be.
To be blind.
When we shut our eyes to our brother's plight, we shut off the possibility of our own happiness.
When we turn our backs on injustice, that same prejudice will rebound upon us.
When we refuse to do the right thing, we become small, something place and time will forget.
Neglect.
Will leave behind.
To blind yourself on purpose leaves oneself vulnerable to falling off a cliff.
You can't see the future coming.
Americans are afraid.
Fear blinds people.
Blind people are easily led by those with a dark destination.
This is why we must keep the watch-fires burning.
This is why we must stand in the door with the lamp of truth held high.
This is why we will keep a seat open on the freedom train.
But this train is moving out.
We all have a place to go, and it's called the future.
This old world is not slowing down for any party or anyone.
Drop hate be hope.
Peace
