We pay great lip service and herald the Founding Fathers.
The men who forged our nation from the tyranny of a king; that transcended mere politics and elitism to offer a refuge to the common man. It was designed to be the refuge where the rights of all were to rule supreme, that every voice was to be heard and every dream to be given the nourishment of opportunity.
This is the land we have come to love. Yet, is this the land we speak of and call home?
Surely the same Founding Fathers, whose names we envoke for our desires and comforts and ideals, are not the same men whose very words we waste with our inaction.
For what do we think of fathers now? We trumpet these virtues inked with Their blood but cannot muster a whisper of disdain when we forsake justice for all. What do we make of our fathers today?
Today we want to make them
deadbeat. Disneyland. tired. simple-minded.
We pay little lipservice and trample today’s fathers.
