America What?

What do we know of righteousness? This land of the free, what exactly is free about it? We were created under God, so we say, and yet we are no more Godly than the devil, himself. Where is a person to go to find the righteous America that I have been taught about for all my life? These American values, what are they and why do they seem so superficial and self-centered? Why does it seem that the only thing that will ever make us anything is the fighting of wars and the remembrance of those wars? Why does Afghanistan still smolder from fires that we started almost ten years ago? Where is Osama Bin Laden? Iraq… well we have all known about the truth of it for a very long time, and so why do we hold not one single person accountable for their decisions concerning that place? When did we become such a society of pussies and spineless turds? You would think all the wars we’ve fought and still fight would prove us a tough and hearty population, wouldn’t you think? Why do our bravest and most dedicated citizens go bleed for assholes who will never truly care for their sacrifice? Why have their voices not risen from within the fog of war to such a pitch that all of Washington should tremble at it? What has become of us and when did money become the only god that we worship?
All of these questions can be answered with words like arrogance, selfishness, stupidity, greed, dishonesty, and so on and so forth until infinity. We walk through our pathetic lives almost all testifying to a faith in something more and yet we live like the only thing we have true faith in is ourselves. We have proven ourselves too prideful to gain the favor of the Lord and so now the storm shall descend upon us for our transgressions against goodness. It does not matter what political affiliation you fall under. It does not matter what denomination of Christ you consider yourself. It does not matter the social standing that you are a part of. The storm is coming, for we have become a people who testify to God that we are unworthy of our place and power upon this earth. The Greeks know it. The Romans knew it. Egypt has tasted it. The Persians are no stranger to it. The list is a very long one of human civilizations that became blessed upon the earth only to fall into a zillion broken pieces because they overreached their bounds. They began knowing that they were the greatest, most wonderful things on earth, and with that, natural Godly justice rained down upon them and they simply ceased existing. We are not immune to what sickened previous kingdoms and brought them crashing down. As a matter of fact, we are bleeding badly as each cell that makes us up explodes with infection, and without bandages from Heaven on High we are sure to bleed out. America you make me ask questions that I thought would never exist in my mind. America you have broken my heart. America will you wake, or will you fall like all the rest? America? America are you there?
