Bringing us together.
In the USA specifically, we are pulled and pushed apart. We have been taught through all the “lessons” of our lives that we can not rely on anyone but our selves. The great disconnect. Look out for self, imagining all types of wrongs against each other, moving to the edge of a sidewalk to walk past the homeless or drug addicts and the “weird”, looking the other way when someone is abuse or neglected. let others starve while we horde.
Enough. We have been lied to.
What have we become?
God,
grant me the serenity
to accept the things i can not change,
To change the things i can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
