Charleston Church Shooting is blaring on my TV. On my radio and through my phone’s screen.
What is the meaning? When a heartless bias stops a loaded chest from rising, another rise should be happening instead.
When I heard what happened I thought, “of course again this has happened.” In my country something has happened. Something inside me has horribly happened.
sleeping the American dream lost in a Sunoco Casino and my patience? A desert run dry from rain-less nights needed to water it’s kind-hearted intentions. A revelation so to speak up for mothers grieving the loss of their child, hands and feet and heart like my own gone because of something so irrelevant like
color.
No, I can’t sit down and let the world my children grow up in be flooded with hate, crime, and hate-crime then keep saying, “We’re doomed so why must I bother?”
It was Nietzsche who once said the famous phrase, “God is dead.” but not for the reasons we think. The phrase was not a winning statement but, a heartbreaking murder of greatness. We killed the almighty argument to provide some sort of comfortable, false ease.
And so what would Nietzsche think- if he never died from the wretched green -would he state, “Man is dead.” just the same?
