Poem Title:
Poem
The “United States,” what exactly does that mean? Does that mean only the states that are “united” and sides with one’s set of ways and views are of importance? And how is it that the “Red” states are considered better and put on a pedestal and the “Blue” states are bashed and called poor, unfit and crime infested? But let’s say for the record that those statements are true. Well, they didn’t become that way overnight, which means, it has been like this for some months or even years and in that case, could it be a reflection of “The Leadership?” Things that are currently happening right now are happening right now and should have some resolution or action being taken right now, not in November, December or next year. This country is hurting in so many ways and when one hurt, we all hurt. And why is it that the “red states” are united, yet divided from the “blue states?” We can’t be called the “United States” and be divided at the same time. So are we “United” or not? It is stated, “Our Country Tears of Thee…” Yet, for some reason right now, it appears to only be about those “united” states. But what happened to “of America?” Aren’t those poor, unfit, crime infested “Blue” states part of America? That means we should all unite and be united. When holding the highest position of this country, the display of partiality, racism and divisiveness shows the lack of understanding one’s job requirements. This is not what this country should be about. Crime, poverty, political corruption, injustice, racism, unemployment… each is an example of a present dent that has been plaguing our nation for far too long. With that being said, I pray... Dear God, I come to You Father to pray for Your peace for the world, world justice, world equality and love for all. Forgive us all Father for the times we are not displaying the image of Your love to one another. Strengthen us in those areas where we are weak. Create in us all a clean heart and renew a righteous spirit within us (Psalm 51 vs 10). Thank You God for not blessing us based on what state we live in nor removing Your blessings from us based on what state we live in and please Father God, continue to strengthen and bless not just the “united” states, but “The United States of America.” In Jesus name, I pray - Amen
