What are you waiting for?
16 years ago life as we know it in this country changed forever thanks to the disgusting hatred and extreme thinking of those who aren't a real representation of the race/religion they falsely claim to be acting out in the name of. I will NEVER forget that day, where I was, the thoughts, sadness and fear than poured out as I watched all of the horror of that day unfold. Seeing and hearing the thousands of innocent people running for their lives, many of which who you could see had sustained injuries. And the countless others who were trying to run TOWARDS the fiery hell to try helping save the lives of their co-workers, friends, family, or simply even the innocent strangers they may find in desperate need of help. May we NEVER forget all of the innocent who lost their lives by the choices of a few lunatics, including the BRAVE HEROES that were the men and women of the NYFD and NYPD who as soon as theses cowardly attacks happened, they ran not away from, but INTO the fiery danger with the intention to save as many innocent lives as could possibly be saved. And let us never forget their heartbroken families, keeping them in our prayers forever. Additionally, let us never forget all of the brave hero men and women across all branched of our United States Military who have fought across the world to protect us from possible future attacks and to keep all of the freedoms we enjoy, while trying to also extend their hands to the people in those war torn countries and show them that there IS a way to live peacefully among people who look, think and feel differently than you. Now, it's 16 years later, and the blunt and painful truth is...Have we as American's REALLY become a great deal better than those extreme lunatics ourselves? Right now, TODAY, are we REALLY showing those people across the world that our way of life and how we treat each other, those who look, think, feel or believe in things different than us is any different or BETTER than their lifestyles? Heartbreaking to say, I can't say the answer is an overwhelming YES, the way that it SHOULD BE. This song holds more truth now than it even did back then. There is more hatred, closed minds, selfishness, greed, disrespect, and less sense of family, community, togetherness, loyalty and love in this country than there's ever been in my lifetime that I can honestly remember personally. Let's not make it be another horrific tragedy like that day that is the only way we learn from our mistakes. A heartbreaking reality that MUST change immediately if we're ever going to begin to solve the problems in this country, and the world. When we truly become the UNITED States Of America.
