I watched the People sitting in a little restaurant with family yesterday.The place had a few patrons sitting around and talking.The conversations were about the weather and the mindless TV programs they sit in front of as the curtain of our lives covertly slides down.The strange thing about this was that I had not realized the mindlessness that many folks lives had become.Family,finances,enemies,conflicts and food.Many were just the average person wearing off the rack clothes and dressed in casual manners for the tropical weather we have had this summer.Laughing and joking as folks should when relaxing.The scenario was very hometown.
I had just watched the largest parade my hometown had put on in many years.There were firetrucks from many local communities and marching bands.The Boy Scouts rode on a float they had made Everyone threw candy to the kids along the street.The children giggling and running to gather up a few goodies.
The local Martial Arts DOJO[GYM] marched proudly in their uniforms ,along with the new Japanese Steakhouse and a red and colorful Dancing dragon that winked it's eye flirtingly at the crowd.
The WWII veterans were represented by the local VFW.There are still a few valiant soldiers from the war that kept me from living under an Evil entity from that time period.I did not see anyone from the Korean"conflict" or the Vietnam "police action". We are getting selective on our memories.Then there is the MIA/POW's.The lost Ghost warriors still waiting in the mist to be... welcomed home.Waiting to finally find peace in time with honor for giving all for the political insanity of that time.
I later sat and watched the Beautiful 4th of July Independence Day Fireworks.Truly gorgeous and patriotic .I thought.Just like the rockets red glare,bombs bursting in air,But is it still proof thru the night that our Flag is still there.Is it still the constitution as our fore fathers intended.Do WE THE PEOPLE still have our privacy
to live our lives in peaceful existence.Are we still able to raise our children as we were taught with our families individual moral values.Is it that our lives have become complacent that we are as a gazelle that is so terrified of the Lion in front of us that it is able to silently creep up so near as to overcome us.The gazelle can easily outrun the lion.
Yet the fear paralyzes its senses and it becomes helpless and is victimized to it's death.
The question,My top of the foodchain friend is this.Which would you rather be...The focused lion or the mesmerized Gazelle? Is that glorious flag still waving in the ramparts as our Earths only true freedom emblem our do we sell out our ancestors dreams and just forget all that patriotic.
Have we become as deer in the headlights?frozen by the approaching freight train of those covertly hidden
powers that regularly are reaching into our private lives without cause.Are we all spellbound and left mindless?
I could not help remember overhearing the chatter of those folks talking about fictitious gobbledie goop over their meals.People in our country seem to be under some spell that leaves them in a half awareness of what is going on with the country they live in.The reality that is ever changing before their very lives.
Our stores are closing and megastores are running in any manner they chose.Our factories are becoming bombed out,vacant shells.Our stock market bounces like a yo-yo gone astray.Our children have no direction and find only fantasy to live in.our movies and entertainment teach only violence and destruction.The alternative is nonsense.Families,when they do sit at a meal don't even know how to communicate anymore.
It is not uncommon to see texting,,or talking the phone in a loud and boisterous manner for all to hear.
I have my own idea of what our world will become if we don't wise upor at least wake up before we have no ability to change the world for the better.
The future is going to be run by folks living their lives in a trance till that lion finally has their teeth in their throat strangling them or by you dear reader.
It will take only one of person to start the changes.That choice is yours and mine.We either out maneuver the lions or fall victim to the kill.
Which will you choose to be? There is no bystanders in this.The lions may not get you this time as you watch another gazelle fall to the lions.The next time it will be your turn.lions always want more....
Perhaps we should add a little more reflection on our current flag by adding the Union Jack in a corner to remind all of us that it is still a symbol of WE THE PEOPLE.We made serious changes in the past with only 3% of the population causing those changes...Time has not changed our abilities.....yet!Lion or gazelle??
That is all for now dear friends,
Independence means freedom to be creative,believe what you are comfortable with,to worship in a non destructive way,and to find the peace and harmony in life that makes it all worth while.and so much more.
It is precious and irreplaceable if lost to tyranny.
