There is only one strength. All others are mearly leeches off of it.
Lady Liberty has been fondled and raped. She lives amongst the mud and sees what her suitors have done. "What will we do now?" It is as if our pain has been used in further fortitude to the new power structure. But her populous sees her in the crust. We love her for what she is. That is the beauty and the freedom that was guaranteed to us upon our birth in this land. She realizes that this isn't about sides, but about the greed that drives Man's hearts. Many will say that she was founded on bloodshed and the imprisonment of crushed bodies. It wasn't. Again the greed of man is what led to the breaking of men's backs upon the parched earth. She sees this and comforts us even when we cannot see it. Law is not her creation, nor was the parties. The architecture, the art, the breath of fresh air in the morning, our hearts, our music, these things are ours allowed. But it seems that it is allowed no longer, for fear of freedom that leads to the overpowerment of those old men who grovel before their false idols.
Now this deals with neither liberals who fight for every stupid cause out there, nor to the conservatives who fear their children, but to the spirit of the normal human. Are we becoming so complacent that we fear what we watch? Or the fact that we are being watched? Deny it. Live in your cocoon. Just don't experiment with drugs, drink alcohol, or view pornography, else you be labeled an unpure person and cast down off the pedestal that society has placed civilization on. Fear is your only God. Strength is my only God.
I can't live in fear anymore. I'm just too tired to.
