When Will it all End

The year 2020 will become the most horrific year in America’s history. Actually, this entire 21st century will be a time when America started to crumble. Our nation’s security suddenly was destroyed by the bombings’ of the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and the field in Pennsylvania.

The bombings rocked our nation and brought it to a standstill. Altogether 2977 people perished because of their personal ideologies. The promises made to them were fallacies. Ideas planted to kill as many as possible in the name of their God. Because of the men desiring to destroy a nation, innocent lives were lost, even their own countrymen.

We were soon thrust into a war designed to stop the spread of terrorism. Men and women sent to protect the freedoms America was built upon. A battle the took countless lives in two countries, Afghanistan and Iraq. Suicide bombers sacrificed their lives, attempting to kill American military personal. The war seemed to end as troops were brought home from Iraq and Afghanistan.

We had a man come into office promising changes for the American people — changes that would better the country for some but not for others. Suddenly those issues from previous presidents were now thrust into America’s limelight. What was once taboo or considered indecent and immoral, were now made into law protecting their rights. Nothing wrong with protection.

There was once a period in our country when America was torn apart because of the men’s ideologies in various states. This period, known as the Civil War, fought from 1861 until 1865, pitting brother against brother as the Northern states fought the Southern states to free slaves. Union forces against the Confederacy.

The war ended with the Confederate army surrendering to the Union army. Abraham Lincoln, our President during this era, would rule to break the slavery that encompassed our nation. From this war, there would be monuments or statues created honoring the various leaders of the war.

There were statues created and erected from Columbus’s time honoring various men that fought wars, building America’s history. Many figures honored men for what became atrocities in America’s history. Suddenly monuments that were created and stood for centuries were now being destroyed because of people’s beliefs. The year 2020 has seen over 183 statues or monuments either destroyed or defaced.

America’s history was being rocked and destroyed. Maybe the statues stood for the wrong reasons, but some of the monuments were toppled by those who were hating what they represented. Monuments and churches were vandalized because of anti-Semitism. Men who hated a specific culture because of ideologies. Why?

What purpose were churches and synagogues vandalized marked with swastikas’? What was to be the outcome for the destruction of houses of worship, except for the belief by a man who hated the Jews? The war ended against the Jews in WW 2. The people were set free from years of torment and the tyranny of one man.

In the last four years, from 2016 until 2020, America has gone through more changes because of politics. The nation’s political parties have been fighting against each other because of the man elected to office. The elected officials, and even our news media, have brought numerous false charges against this man.

Why does a political party seek the destruction of this man while the nation struggles concerning a COVID virus disease? What has this party accomplished in the past four years for the very people? Where have their priorities been except to find a legal reason to remove President Trump from office?

They have tried to impeach him or discredit the man for unsubstantiated reasons. They seemed to waste their efforts upon his position in office instead of working to better the nation as a whole.

The year 2020 has seen riots because of men being killed by the police force. Efforts have even gone so far as to stop every police agency from accomplishing their employment. We have had riots calling the movements BLM — Black Lives Matter, which they do.

Then there is the current pandemic called COVID 19, which has been the cause of over 293,000 deaths, but they blamed the President. Instead of working together to stop the virus, politicians have basically ignored the people. One man is not the reason for the virus.

What legacy are we leaving for our future generations? Are we going to leave them a ruined nation, or will people stop pointing fingers and work towards a better tomorrow? The seeds we are planting will continue to grow like weeds if not eradicated. It is time to stop playing war with our peoples’ lives.

Yesterday is gone and cannot be changed. We can look at tomorrow for possible better days. But the day we have before us is today — the day we need to be concerned about to accomplish what lies ahead.
