The need for change

Dear Inspirations, 

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic, for which it stands one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"

We recited this pledge everyday in school but now does it mean anything? 

I want to believe it still means everything. 

I want to believe that America is still the best place to live.

"The land of the free and the home of the brave" 

This is what America stands for right? 

Or at least this is what they wanted us to believe. 

Honestly, right now I'm having a hard time believing that. 

We've experienced so much crime, so many innocent people being killed and so much hate.

Why so much? Haven't we endured enough? 

I feel like we've been setback a few decades where violence was the only option. 

I feel like some are just creating a reason to shoot. 

We are experiencing so many violent killings. I'm not just talking about black lives I'm talking about all lives. 

It's sad how you can't even go to a church without the possibility of being shot. 

You can't go to the club, you can't go to the movies and you sure can't be driving around without the possibility of being shot. 

America has became a scary place to live.

It's become a war zone. 

It's become a place where there is no justice and there is no peace. 

Growing up they taught us that America was where everyone wanted to come. 

America the land of dreams.

America the place where you could be free. 

Yet today it seems as though America isn't really free at all. 

Everyone wants to make it JUST about race.

This isn't just about race, it's about everything.

It's about hate, it's about injustice, it's about everything. 

There's a serious need for change. 

There are issues that need to be addressed. 

No one wants to talk about it. 

Today I write to you in hopes that you will be apart of the change. That you will not only become  aware but also conscious of what is happening around you. That you will do something. That you will stand up and be apart of change. 

As Biggie  once said "we can't change the world unless we change ourselves" 

Until we meet again

Summer Ends with a Prayer

Dear God,

Today I ask that you heal my broken heart.
Turn my situation around.
I know there are many of things that I ask you for.

I know that all summer I've tried to keep the faith.
I tried to hold on to the rope that bruised my hand.
I put all my trust in you.

I have tried so hard to remain positive with all of the things happening around me.

I have cried so many times. I am sorry for questioning your work in my life.

I am sorry for doubting the things that you are capable of doing.

My faith has been wavering and I  have been selfish to think that you haven't heard my cry.

God please help me to be in a better state.
God change my attitude.
God make me over.
God give me the strength to fight all of my battles.

I know it is you that speaks and moves mountains on my behalf.

God forgive me for my evil thoughts and any ways that are not like you.

In Jesus name.
