Silence Is Not An Option |

We live in interesting, nay dangerous times! The silent majority needs to “talk” and real fast to save this nation!
And we are quite “happy” to let someone else do the job - “cheering” perhaps even “jeering”- from the security of our homes. Homes that would be rendered meaningless when the soul of the nation is shredded!
Yeats “Second Coming” comes to mind… “Turning and turning in the
widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the
falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre
cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon
the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is
loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is
drowned;
The best lack all conviction,
while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity”
Reflect on this …..
Perhaps then you will choose …
