Who will save us?

Who will save us from endless war?  Who will save us from ecocatastrophe?  Who will save us from nuclear holocaust?

 

In the 60's, we had inspiring leaders, people like John and Bobby Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, who mobilized millions to win civil rights and to end the Vietnam war.  But they were assassinated.

 

We were hoping that Kucinich would save us from the endless war on terror, with his idea of a Department of Peace, and his willingness to go to bat for the ABM treaty.  But the media, no longer free, did not give him enough air time to get his ideas across.

 

Then we pinned our hopes on Kerry, even though he voted to invade Iraq and tried to outmacho Bush.  He fought hard, but not hard enough, and gave up too easily- whether out of fatigue or collusion, we may never know. 

 

In our hearts, we know that only We the People can save us.  Our battle must be waged nonviolently, since they have all the weapons.  Our weapons are truth, courage, righteousness.  God is on our side.

 

Lord, make us turn to You;

let us see Your face and we shall be saved.

Psalm 80: 2
