The Battle for America’s Soul

Citizens of America, we are under siege and on the battlefield against each other. We live in the same United States, but we live in a divided country.

When some of us wake up in the morning, we have hope, while others of us wake up hopeless.

In an intriguing way, we are in another civil war. Our uniforms are not blue and gray because we now wear suits and dresses. We drive cars now and don’t ride horses. However, the common thread between then and now is that we are killing one another.

What is happening to America? Most recently, in Austin, Texas there was a series of bomb explosions and citizens were killed or injured. The man identified as the perpetrator killed himself as police closed in to apprehend him.

This is the latest example of the civil war going on in our country.  Just a few weeks ago, we had the Florida school shooting where a young person turned his anger on a group of students at his former high school in Parkland. He killed 17 students and adults and injured others.

Now, we have students who are afraid to go to school and parents who are afraid to send them. Schools have become civil war battlefields, 21st-century style.

America, what is happening to us?
