manifest destiny as self fulfilling prophesy...

Humanity struggles and writhes in the sunlight.
We profane our existence even as we move forward

Our hands are filthy with cleanliness and our minds are drenched in brightest darkness.

Dear Martin

I have heard you and, eventually... I even listened.
from: mlk-vietnam_speech_audio -
"I call on Washington today. I call on every man and woman of good will, all over America today. I call upon the young men of America who must make a choice today, to take a stand on this issue. Tomorrow may be too late! The book may close… Don't let anybody make you think that God chose America as his divine messianic force to be. A sort of the policeman of the world. God has a way of standing before the nations with judgment, and it seems like I can hear God saying to America, “you are too arrogant. If you don’t change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power and…place it in the hands of a nation that does not even know my name....

Amen.


And Amen!
let it be so
