Venting

In a political debate concerning war in the world someone asked me who I pledged my allegiance to. I pledge my allegiance and loyalty to those across the globe who are in need, who literally have nothing. The people in Africa, Iraq, Iran, Israel and Palestine who need help, To the people in South Korea who have the terror of living next to North Korea, To the people in North Korea who who are stuck in a country under a monster. To the men, women and children of the U.S who are dying on the streets while we shout to the world that we are the land of opportunity, I give you my loyalty and promise to do what I can to help them. I cannot give my pledge to one country, one group of people, one religion. In my genetic background my ancestors came out of Africa and settled into places like Kashmir and Saudi Arabia before continuing onto France and then to the rest of Northern Europe. In this line I have blood from Muslims, Jews, Christians and Pagans. I am a child of the world, and I give my love to it. I find God in everyone, in every religion because God is one. To the Muslims he is Allah, to the Jews and Christians he is Yahweh, El Shaddai, Jesus. to the Hindus, there is Krishna, Ganesha, Saraswati and many more who make up one divine presence in their life. For others, he/she is simply God. And God is in everyone, every place, everything that exists. So, when it comes to war, I do not give my allegiance to specific countries who are warring against each other, but rather I give it to God's children who are lying broken and in despair because worldly powers have taken it upon themselves to decree what is right, what is wrong and who God is. I give my allegiance to the people who have love and compassion are trying their best to survive.
