Reflections on Today

I awoke today, and for a moment, I did not remember. Then it all came rushing back. Today is a day which I don't like to talk about anymore. It is the dark spot on the American Soul. It is at the same time a tragedy for the souls lost from the American quilt, and a reminder of what can happen when I don't pay attention. Today has been co-opted by some in power, and Today has become sadly a tool of control. Whenever Today is mentioned, a specific response arises in the eyes, and hearts, and minds of our people.

Today is not supposed to be Used, Today is supposed to be Today. Today is supposed to be remembered, and holy, and quiet. But Today has become forever an election pledge by those who are not fully truthful. Today has enveloped the warped minds of those who seek to control us in the name of protecting us. Today is America's Day, but Today has been used to seek out and create war, against the wishes of those who suffered most Today.

I want my Today back. I want to lay a wreath at the memory of those who died, those who died too early, too young, and for no reason. And By God's Name, I do not want those in power to use their Death to control us who are still graced by life on this Earth, and in this Great Nation.

I cry Today for the souls of the lost.
I cry Today for the children without parents.
I cry Today for the loss of Today, for it has become Their Today, and They have no guilt for using Today against our Democracy, against our Constitution, and against our community.

Those who have Destroyed Today shall be dealt with by their maker, and shall be forever scorned by History.

Please, join me, Make Today about Today again, not about them, or those, or fear, or worries.

Make Today about Us, Reflect, Morn, Cry, and Remember. But do not define Today by Fear. And please, Leave Today to Today. Do not soil its name Tomorrow. Today belongs to those who have been lost. Please, leave it there, as it is, pure, and remembered.

Today is time to remember, and Tomorrow is a time to Rethink. Please hug your Children and your Wife and your Neighbor.
