We were promised that a wall would be built separating America from Mexico! Well, I have seen a magnificent wall being built not to separate us from Mexico, but to separate us from the uniformed militia overtaking peaceful protestors in America. The wall I am seeing is a wall of protection and a wall of separation. This great wall is being fortified by layers of human strength.
As I watch, the wall is being constructed layer by layer. The first layer is a wall of moms adorned in yellow t-shirts, hands locked together, aligned with the love of mothers protecting their children from the neighborhood bullies who are violently taking the streets by force. The weaponized bullies have no regard for the wall of moms and penetrate the wall with gas and batons. The next night, another layer is built as a wall of dads come out with strength, might, and leaf blowers to redirect the gas being blown their way. The next night, another layer is added. It is a wall of vets, comprised of real heroes who served our country and sacrificed their lives, families, and political views to protect our rights and freedoms, including assembly.
The wall of protection is what will separate us from becoming a fascist nation. We must adhere to the late John Lewis’ proclamation to “stand up, speak up, and speak out.” Our liberties are on the line. If we go along to get along, soon, it will be too late. The wall of protection is not the wall we feared, but it is the wall we need!
Quotable Quotes:

“You cannot be afraid to speak up and speak out for what you believe. You have to have courage, raw courage.”
Memorable Verses:
