My Heart was colder when you'd gone...

that is the mark of someone who has made an impact in your life.  When your life is colder, empty, vapid, when they have left.  And it is at the most in opportune time's that you will notice that they are gone.  When the warm sunshine of a bright beautiful day is interrupted by the cold reminder of what is missing.   We can invent all kinds of lies and alternate endings to this choose your own adventure.  But the truth still remains.  It always remains.  If we could visually see the edifices people have built to hide from the truth or justify their lies, the sun would be blocked.  What if those walls we hide behind collapsed, and the world was let in?  Could we change to accept ourselves and accept others?

That is what is wrong in this country.  We are scared of each other.  We don't hate each other.  We aren't strangers to each other. We have allowed walls and mountains to be put between us, turning friend into foe and associate into adversary.  WHY?   We have danced with this devil long enough.  I'm worried that this is this countries final dance.  A lot will change when we are finally stripped of all the distractions.  and those that would distract us.  The essence of who we are lies in honesty.  We have spent our "youth" as a nation in the pursuit of crap that doesn't matter.  We built an edifice to our lies and then further deceived our children into thinking it was best for them.  So what do we do with those of us who notice this trivial issue?  Isolate, Medicate, and Infuriate them.    Until the fringes become the focal point, and we deal with our fear, we will be isolated.
