History is filled with many heroes; conquerors and defenders, those that stood up when there country was threatened by others demanding bloodshed. The same can be said for this country; when ever we were threatened by outside forces, we saw brave souls who gave there lives to protect this country. Without them we would be seeing a very dark, different day today. But heroes, are not only needed when a country is threatened by outside forces, but also when someone is needed to do what’s right. And today, this country needs a hero.
Today we are facing one of the darkest times in our little countries history. Corruption has become the way of life for our society. Violence has become the solution for our problems. Drugs are destroying the lives of our youth and there families. Everyone knows this, everyone says it, but that’s just as far as it goes. Everyone is too busy advancing there own lives to do anything about it. After all why not? Everything comes down to money; corruption is money, violence is money, drugs are money, and it seems money makes everything better for most people.
We have been filled by people advancing there own lives under the guise of doing the right thing. People preaching promises of better times and freedom to an audience that doesn’t even know what freedom really is. Flying the flag of freedom only as a means to power. We have become a country of idiots who cannot think for ourselves and cowards who would rather do the easy thing rather than the right thing. We have thrown away the peace we enjoyed for so long in return for false promises and a divided nation.
Is this the nation or forefathers sacrificed there lives for? Did they defend it from outside forces with there every breath only to have it destroyed by us? I highly doubt it; they would turn in there graves to know that all they did might just be in vain. Today there is almost no one, especially within out youth, who would truly fight, or give there lives up for this country. Maybe it’s because it may no longer be a country worth fighting for. A country filled with people who cannot even tell right from wrong. A country filled with people who cannot even think for themselves.
Every nation is filled with people of different ideas, thoughts and walks of life. But that’s what a country is, that’s what makes up a country. That’s what makes a country great. It’s those different ideas and thoughts that make up a nation. It is not a basis for division and discrimination. We have shown on various occasions that we all can get along, if we really want to.
This country is heading for even darker times if we let it. All we need is someone, who is truly working for the good of the nation, to step up and do what is right; someone to lead by example and be a true leader and icon. A hero who will sacrifice himself for the good of a nation rather than his own gain. But, does such a person even exist?
