America

“America, where are you now?
Don't you care about your sons and daughters?
Don't you know, we need you now?
We can't fight alone against this monster.”
Steppenwolf; Monster; 1969.

The mass-murder at the Florida school last week showed the intensity of the sickness that threatens our society. The voices of the student survivors express not only a call to conscience, but a path to treatment and healing. They speak the Truth.

I am in awe of their goodness.

Peace,
H2O Man

"Hey you! Keep your head down. If they should find you now, the man will shoot you down."

[edit]

Oops. The above is from "Renegade" from Steppenwolf 7. Still fits, though not as closely as "Monster".

I am encouraged by the Mueller indictments.

But completely discouraged and heartbroken over the latest shooting.

I just cannot anymore.

Terribly close to home.
