The Power Of The Pen

"Unity In Diversity" - Frida Kahlo

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, heart, joy, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think.

     Well, what a week, it has been since President Trump's inauguration. It seems like it has been months on end. Is it time for the next election yet? Actually I don't think I am ready for another election race just yet. The truth is that my mind is perplexed, boggled. President Trump is like a motor wheel, issuing one order after another. The public does not even have time to process one order, then there you have it, another order. It is like a speedy delivery.

     ​Humor aside, some of these latest issues are actually very troubling. The wall order which I wrote about previously, was displeasing because it revealed how relationships can be severed so easily. And of course we now have the Muslim Ban order. This was actually another heart breaker. As we can see from both orders, who is under attack? It is once again the Mexicans and Muslims. These orders also reveal what the power of the pen can truly mean. When there is a pen held in the hand of a powerful force, this can either lead to an uprising or an uproar. Both of these orders have created tensions, with protests of thousands of people marching, protesting to have their voices heard. With a simple signature total chaos has erupted.

     With regards to the protection of the people within a nation. America has one of the toughest border, customs and airport security systems. By becoming more extreme - what has actually happened  is the breeding of more hate. Actually at the expense of the American people and members who are serving abroad. One American solider was killed in Yemen. I fear that what President Trump is actually doing, is inflicting self - wounds upon America. He is actually creating these wounds for our beautiful nation. 

     Every action has a reaction. It is like these words that I write. I simply write these words. How a person decides to react upon these words of truth is their choice. It is up to them, I cannot control any ones reactions, except my own. However, I do offer my thoughts as a thoughtful response. 

     The eruption of chaos simply shows that the American population, the people who live in America are not haters. The American people are showing that they are not haters. I give credit also to the many CEO's, tech organizations, sports clubs, athletes, political members who have taken a stand against this hurtful bigotry, which is tearing families and purposely casting arrows, to tear hearts apart. Mr. Trump has painted a horror picture of America, this picture has now travelled the world. It is actually very heartbreaking to hear family members in the UK talk about what "Trump" has done, thinking about what kind of nation this is. It is heartbreaking, as it is the diversity and the immigrants who build and contribute the very fabric of a flourishing society. 

     America is an innovation powerhouse. It is made for the dreamers. These restrictions are harsh, and as I have said before, any form of extremism is unhealthy. As for the idea of letting in Christian refugees above Syrian refugees, my thoughts follow: In my eyes a refugee is a refugee, regardless of a religion or faith. When someone is vulnerable, it does not matter what faith, it is in the realm of our social responsibility, to assist those in need. 

​Dedication: The words of this being are dedicated to Fred Cuellar you are dearly loved. They are also dedicated to all beings. Thank you to everyone who has taken a stand, against the horrible bigotry, and hate that is polluting the beautiful nation of America. America is a proud honourable nation, and does not need to be tarnished with the insults of the new orders. With these humble words, I pray for peace. I pray for the hearts to always remain united. Do not tear hearts apart. My thoughts to share with love & kindness.
