BITTER

I'm a bitter women lately. I got so caught up in being shocked at this whole new (?) futile care law, and the rhetoric, that i was missing the flaw in the arguments I've been hearing against it. Most people that are writing against it that are angry are upset because the hospital is trying to kill toddler Emilio Gonzales against the wishes of his mother. But it seems to me, after some reflection, that it's a tiny step from a decision that was made in this country years ago. The decision to place the life of a child in the hands of his/her mother. ABORTION. I wonder why it seems so horrifying to these people that are spouting off about how horrible it is. Is it because the mother isn't it control? Would it be alright if the mother was all for it and wanted her toddler to die? The decision for someone to live or die should never rest in human hands. It belongs in the hands of the Lord. And the sick thing is this issue isn't just about being hooked up to a machine that breathes for you and makes your heart breathe-it's about withdrawing food and water, too. If you withdraw food from any toddler, they'll die. They can't go get food on their own. They talk about giving only comfort care. What, patting their hand as they are starving to death? Dying of thirst? I'm so, so angry right now.
I heard a song yesterday that ripped my heart up and made me burst into tears.

Justice, by Seeds

They've got millions of dollars
still their greed's not met
So they build another factory
and they fill it with the labor
of little children in some far off foreign land
Keeping them out of sight
and out of mind
as the market place expands

When will Justice come upon the earth
When will the cries of the innocent be heard
When will power not be used for selfish gain
When will Justice Come?
When will Justice Come?

A generation of babies
have carelessly been slain
In the name of money
and convenience

While the poor and the elderly
are left alone to die
Keeping them out of sight
and out of mind
in the convenience of our times

An entire race of people forced
to leave their land
for the sake of someone elses' freedom
While another is enslaved cuz the color of his skin

TELL ME, WHEN WILL IT END?

We got Bosnia and Sudan
Rwanda and Iraq
Nations ripped apart before our eyes
Although we stand for justice
Although we fight the cause

In the end
I'm asking

When will Justice come?
When will Justice Come?
when will power not be used for selfish gain?
When will Justice Come?
When will Justice Come?
When will Justice Come?

While there's a Man who knows the pain of life
in the very deepest way
and He's coming soon to claim His rightful power
His kingdom it shall stand upon the righteousness He has
He'll give sight to our minds
as His kingdom comes at last

Then will Justice Come
Then will Justice Come
Then will Justice Come
Then will Justice Come
Then will Justice Come
Then will Justice Come
Then will Justice Come
Then will Justice Come

Come Lord Jesus Come
