My friends, I have grown utterly tired of a never ending struggle.
Freedom, peace, the American dream, all has drifted far from my grasp and seemingly lost amongst the shadows of absolute uncertainty. For those few who rightfully seek answers to problems at hand, they will only find deeper questions that remain unanswered. Theirs is the never ending fight to shrug off tyranny. America as a whole has become diluted and a poor imitation of what this great country once was. In previous times freedom has rang true in my ears and with every passing day I hear its call growing ever more faint. I desperately try with every waking breath to preserve those few humble rights we desperately cling to.
But what should oneself do? Surely I should not be expected to endure hardships? Such dire circumstances were for my fathers. Surely I should not be expected to keep freedoms fiery light aglow, through the dark, and the gloom. Simply put, my wallet is more important than the basic fundamental liberties so many before me have fought and died for.
As long as CEO’s get a paycheck and soccer moms have gas for their SUV’s we will continue to plod along in a never ending state of paralysis. Much like the coma victim relies on a feeding tube for “life”, decline is inevitable, and death… immanent. When it all comes down, are we really even basic human beings at all? Mostly, one chooses not to even make eye contact with another, less we discredit ourselves or to a worse extent, look ridiculous. This cold hard reality is easier to ignore then to confront, even better yet is to place the burden upon a figurehead who will seemingly absolve us of all wrong doing. A culturally driven band-aid that will in time deprive us all of the life giving oxygen that is our basic rights.
The American dollar bill is NOT the solution to all problems. Those things which are obtained by monetary gain are meaningless, as we do not keep them forever. Our ideals shall be the only things that outlast us. Ideals of resistance where resistance is due, and at the same instance an unyielding peace and understanding for those who may cross our path otherwise.
As always I choose the path of the patriot, be it accepted or denied, and if denied I more perfectly befit the character of the rebel. I am not in the least inspired. I am not an advocate for change. I am an independent American citizen with rights, freedom of choice, and land unto my own accord, be it with or against the grain.
If the eagle is to clasp thirteen arrows in one talon and the olive branch in the other, then so must we.
