This day and age!

Devon Bates 1980 (Norfolk)



Where stands true freedom? We all have our trials to deal with! Yet, human we all are still! Rather, Republican or Democrat, the problems we face divides us and kills! Do you hear it? The cries of the innocent are loud! Echoing from every mountain and hill! Silenced voices, babies starving and tortured! This is no way to live! A few are expected to pay for all neglected while life stands utterly still! Bickering is what we hear! Heads turn away from those who plead and halt the progress of humanity with speed instead of compromising, new diseases are unleashed! While few will even unto warnings, take heed! I see murders taking place over even religious states and judgments being passed! Such a waste of everything life created us to be! To stand with a cause that is damning to some is to slow down our own progress indeed! Who gave the right for a single man to cause strife towards a whole nation, despite of what they believe? The horrific part of it all, instead of rejecting this flaw some stand for no cause behind a man who applauds him and his greed! Growing up, I believed in this nation because it reflected the things that were sacred! I could become anything I wanted to be! Instead of beheading neglecting or even refusing to respect our differences, we frown on the different and refuse a new existence! Voting for our and others benefits will create balance in this existence and restore the true balance of life and love! Think! Respond, not react, not everything is a threat! I choose to vote for some because they stand for all! I agree with Ukraine, they have a right as we to freely live in their own country! Free of judgment from a far country, they deserve to choose how they want to live and become free! Biden is heaven sent! Standing for what's relevant! Protecting this country and showing that he believes this is still the land of the brave and the home of the free! Place where anyone from any nation may have a chance to strive and live! Become rich and escape hate and poverty! The choice is ours! Stand tall or follow some into a life they want for us! Some would not even know what they could accomplish if they let another dictate what their lives should look like and be! Stand for something, wake up and look pass color! Religion, sexuality and views! Remember, for we are all human!
