When

Could you tell me when America became so selfish, introspective, a host of clueless, unrealistic fools, that see only ourselves above all others, sole contemporaries of time and history? When did we forget the points and purpose of freedom to follow one man's power hungry dream, ill-conceived? When did the cost of freedom give way to the conspiracies of delusionary sways cutting back the realities of the day? When did we hold fast to a lie, never seeking truth pushing fact aside, truth denied? When did we stop caring about the future free within folds of democracy for our children and their hopes and dreams? When will we ever learn from history its lessons that freedom isn't free, there is a price to pay in everything we do, in everything we say, we must act not just pray before it all slips away.

So many incredible stanzas, but may I quote the last: "When will we ever learn from history its lessons that freedom isn't free, there is a price to pay in everything we do, in everything we say, we must act not just pray before it all slips away." Thank u, Sir. shalom-shalom. May America be America again!
