2020

the year that was lost to us, lost to the collective,

lost to time

but we gained -

oh did we gain

we have been living through revelation after revelation …

after horrible revelation

evil exists indeed. it has a name. it has a face. it is organized.

it is determined.

some were shocked into awareness

some were not surprised one little bit,

having been exposed to it - and surviving to tell the tales

some shut their eyes and ears tight, and carried on with their shallow lives

some are not called to know at all,

but are called to other tasks

I want to salute those who were the victims of this evil,

and those who had to watch it play out over the years

for you will be avenged somehow

I salute those who knew what this approaching monstrous danger is capable of doing to God's creation

(for indeed He created everything seen and unseen praise Him for ever and ever!)

I salute you - for carrying that knowledge, for surviving, for finding a way to expose it,

for bringing it to the attention of the multitudes

I salute you for caring enough about humanity (and God's other creations) to bring more eyes to this hidden darkness,

and for somehow motivating millions to finally DO and SAY SOMETHING to slow it,

hopefully to stop it,

at the very least, to expose it even more (so we can make our choice)

I salute your bravery, your cleverness, your discipline, your drive, your courage! God and His angels clearly fight beside you

and our spirits gladly join in the battle for what is right and good.

I salute you
