I write as a human being. as a mother, a grandmother, a Christian. I am not from America but feel for her, feel for the killed and the killer for each is of mother born.
Weep for the pain of each death and each hand which takes life, each country torn, drowning in its tears, bleeding out its life. USA in the recent past. And so I write…
In love, in prayer, in faith
.”And He shall judge among the nations
And He shall rebuke many people
And they shall beat swords into ploughshares
And they shall beat their spears into pruningforks….. .Isaiah”
And I ask
Is it beyond Americans to love and fight as all creatures do with fingers hands and bodies without extension into guns and rifles and knives and bombs, for quarrel and fight and discriminate all creatures do?
Is it beyond Americans to make bon fires of all their guns and killer metals
To close down all ammunition factories
To stop the drinking and luxuriating in human blood money from shares in ammunition industries and businesses
To turn sword to ploughshares, spears to pruningforks aka
Killing and death to feeding and life?
Is it possible to hide your nakedness, guilt and fear not with the figleaves of guns and bullet belts?
You try ever so much to systematise and legalise away drugs, alcohol, tobacco, addiction for health and for life
Why then embrace tightly and snugly guns, the second amendment alias death?
A weapon of death for whatever reason can be and usually ends up being for someone’s death.
The rest of the world sees and hears and cringes and cries and cannot understand USA’s enslavement to guns.
With all that you are blessed with, why can you not exist with each other without killing each other?
I DARE YOU AS A PEOPLE TO LIVE AND BREATHE WITHOUT KILLING EACH OTHER as you say ALL LIVES MATTER.
OR STOP CLAIMING WORLD LEADERSHIP IN ALL THAT IS OF GOOD REPORT.
