A take on human rights.

Those Who Silence

Those who seek to silence us, will themselves be silenced.
Did you know human rights are born rights?
When and if directed towards me, my response will be given
with all my might.
I am an American who stands firm and will defend her with the speed of light!
After all, I can hear Malcolm X in the midst of a democracy threatened,
reminding us of our human rights.
Malcolm said for all people as such: “You have the right to be a human being.”
As I look around, I don’t like what I’m seeing!
Freedom of speech is under attack, but friends don’t be uptight.
In the end, the silencer will be silenced and we will all be all right!

It troubles me that Christians are STILL being persecuted in other countries. However, make no mistake about it, Christians are being silenced right here by extreme groups who want their way or no way.
All we can do is pray for them and I like your prayer best of all.
Dear Lord:
Replace terror with safety.
Replace hatred with love.
Replace worry with hope.
Replace fear with belief.
Replace enemies with friends.
Replace sickness with wellness.
Replace weakness with strength.
Replace rudeness with kindness.
Replace envy with admiration.
Replace death with eternal life.
Thank you Lord.
Amen!
