Life
As futile as it may seem, I pray that all the nations of the world would be repast with adequate food and water, and in this 21st century, we being the children of the same Creator, will seek with all of our hearts and souls, to "see" through God's eyes, and "feel" with God's heart for each other. That we would move from the law of retalitation [Lex Talionis], to true reconciliation, thus fulfilling God's desire, "That we would love the Lord Thy God with all thine heart, and all thine soul and all thine mind, and that we love "each other" as we love ourselves.

STUPIFIED
The Constitution is definitely a sacred document
The Bill of Rights, is the same, no argument
The Constitutional Amendments were put in place
To protect every creed and race
The Founding Fathers were very diligent
At the inception of our Government
Judicial, Congressional and Executive branches were enacted
To prevent Citizens right from being protracted
And yes, September 11 was an egregious evil
By fanatics laboring for the devil
Our Government had to stand up and fight
To enforce what is right
But after life, freedom is second and quintessence
A most exceptional and great experience
So, we should not allow one man to think he is above the law
Because if we do, would freedom, be worth fighting for?

Author’s Comments
“The liberties we talk about defending today were established by men who took their conception of man from great religious tradition of Western civilization, and liberties we inherit can almost certainly not survive the abandonment of that tradition.” (Walter Lippman) So yes, I am stupefied, because liberty is itself the highest political end and not a means to a higher political end. Thus, is life so dear and peace so sweet to warrant the abandonment of people’s rights? For when liberty becomes a pretext to violate the law, dictatorship is near. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! [George W. Bush is the President of the United States, but he is still just a man, and no man should be allowed to violate the “laws of our blessed land.”]
