Let's Make Peace(Mingus Veal) Our lives today. Grief. Sadness. Poverty. Sorrow. Anger. Murder. Sin. What has driven mankind to this? What man or woman would kill, just to kill, because they are angry? There is no method behind it, no reason, just pure absent almost neanderthal thought. On December 14th, 2012, blood was spilled. Innocent blood. The blood of 20 children, and 6 staff members. Why? What conflicted the man who pulled the trigger? Did he have no inner conflict to the lives he was killing in cold blood? And then turn the trigger on himself? They raised not a hand or thought against him, but he made the choice to ignore the pleading in their eyes. America, the meaning of this story is to rise up. America has been through extremely tough times, brother against brother, sister against sister. We have no right to judge the fate of another, and hatred always leads to more hatred and then, to war, and the enemy would be the person sitting right next to you. Men and women have fought and worked to make this great nation what it is today, and I will not let one act of violence stop us from our destiny for love and peace. I tell you people of this great nation, do not give up. Do not lose hope in whatever position you are in, because no matter how much sin is in the world, there is always hope, and it starts with you. All of you. Do not lay on your back and roll over because you find it hard or every time you try something, an obstacle is in your way. Let's break this obstacle together, and keep on climbing toward the light. Let us learn from the past and our ancestors. and once we are done inproving ourselves and our brothers, let's improve the world, and every person in it. The future may be harder than now, and I know we will trip on the stairs of life, but we will rise again, and keep moving up and beyond places you could possibly imagine. Please rise up as your own person and stand with me in peace as one unit. God bless America, and the world, and the universe. And especially, may God bless you.
