SUGAR & AIR
Dear America,
I am in love with you.
Thank you for being so kind to me. You are the most beautiful country in the world, yet you are besieged by weak men in navy blue suits who seek to conquer you and the rest of the globe. These people are hunters of death and dollars, wandering without love in the paths of life. They have confused the word power with the word love, lost in the world of might and absent from the world of the heart. They claim that they love you, but in truth, they want you only as a trophy, an asset, another possession for their collection.
Dear America, you don't need these men around you, but they are everywhere, like sharks in the sea. They treat people as expendables; they see pain in the streets and simply ignore it. They want everything to be easy, but "easy" always comes with a price. Everyone translates everything into numbers. They are unable to see the invisible, caring only for profit, for wins and losses. You cannot put numbers on love.
You are life itself, America, but they are pushing you to forget your nature. They don't let you breathe. Even those who brought you into the world are small-minded and two-faced—two sharks with smiles—who won't let you simply be, fearing it might not be profitable, fearing it won't serve their master plan: to bring in money, to be sold to a wealthy man. They see you as a mere transaction. You feel all these pressures, from all sides, and your only true need is to escape, to find love. You are a lost soul, trapped simultaneously in a world of wealth, wellness, and poverty.The only way out for you, America, is to seek God. Through faith, you search for love, and love is what you will find. Jesus Christ will be there to hold your hand; He will be your hero, and He will save you.
I wish for you to find your way, either in or out. Do not let capitalism consume you any further; do not be deceived by technology, comfort, and material goods. Do not become a product. But become You. Who you truly are. It is up to you whether you choose to be nothing, or to become hope, always with God on your side and an angel in your heart.
Amen
