LEFT BEHIND

Left Behind by Bruce H, Scroggins

America has neglected, the people of color, and the poor, on purpose, it was by design, it is benign neglect, of the most vulnerable Americans, and that is our National Tragedy, and the whole world is watching America, and by their neglect, they have allowed, and fostered murders, of our very young, and the very old, and those already sick, and these are the very people who, have supported New Orleans, from generations to generation, with hard work, and today have nothing but the skin on the backs.

This is flat out racism against Blacks, and this is a crime against humanity, and is being played out in the 24 hour News Cycle, and the News Organizations and they ask WHY? Why? Are they stealing, and killing each other, and some in power, lets start with the Governors, are now saying… ZERO tolerance, to looters, and I have given orders to shoot to kill.

And the poor are asking, WHY? Why won’t you help us, you fly over us, and you see us waving, and dying, right in front of the camera, where are the troops? Where are the Police?

The Bush Administration is not alone in this Racist National Tragedy, this gose back at least five Adminastrations, all the way to Nixson. The Congress knew what those in Louisiana told them, for years will happen, and about the levees being in a dilapidated state, and that they needed 208 million dollars to finished the work, to shore up there deathly needed protection, and all for the most vulnerable people, and Bush’s budget, allotted 10 million dollars, and today, I’d say 30 to 50 Billion would be a low ball estimate for repairs, but until some one makes a real plan, would be throwing good money, behind, not enough money, to rebuild a City, waiting, for the next “Perfect Storm.”

No one will do a story on those who live on the High ground, and are isolated, but have limited resource, all the movers and shakers of Commerce, and Private Business, and Government, there homes are protected by the Local Police, who America, and the World didn’t see in the aftermath of “Katrina.,” you know what hurts the most, the powers that be, knew they were leaving the most vulnerable people behind, and they left them anyway, that is the height of arrogance, for any society, it is a sin, and “reproach to any nation.”

Left behind is mild in description of what we all have seen happen to Blacks, in the South, from New Orleans to Mississippi, to Alabama. New Orleans's a city that’s older than America, built on tourism, with all the service jobs gone, and all the homes of the workers gone, with literally “nothing to eat, or drink, and no where to sleep, the poor went crazy, they were in near, to full blow panic, and some would even attach those few who’ve come to help.

All over the world, there have been discussions about, what would happen if a storm hit New Orleans, and three days ago it happened, and all the plans of men and of racist Institutions, headed by the power elite, have shrunk from view, only surfacing to say how bad it is, and then go to the next extreme, and say, “shoot to kill,” there will be n tolerance.

But let me tell you America, Black America is pulling together, through, the help of Americans, and If you want to help, you can call any CHURCH or TEMPLE, or SYNGOGUE, Black or White, MUSLIM or CHRISTIAN, or call the NAACP, or the URBAN LEAGUE, or RAINBOWPUSH, or the REDCROSS, or the SALVATION ARMY, you can call the Big News organizations, like NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, or CSAN, PBS, MBS, or BET, You can give money, or food, or clothing, and for those who have the heart, you can open your home to those who most desperately need shelter, but do this with a wise and understanding heart, and seek guidance, before, making your home available.

And first before doing anything, if you believe, pray and meditate, we need all the guidance we can get, because this is going be, for a lot of Americans, a long and dark journey into the Light of the real America, we all talk about, and have for much of our lives believed was for all Americans, a "Christian Country,"… well were going to get our chance to show the world, it wasn’t all talk, but remember, the world saw America clearly LEAVE BEHIND AMERICANS, so lets get to work.

HIGH and DRY

The Disaster, in Louisiana is America unprepared for what ALL America, and the State Government knew years ago would happen, “The Perfect Storm.” Pray, and do all you can for those suffering, open your homes, carefully, but open your hearts wide, and give of your time, where you can.

I have some questions, where are, our first responders, and where are the State Police, and the Local Police, where are the Red Cross located, where is the Coast Guard, and the Air National Guard. The Media should be making there Stations, a heaven for support, there Top Priority should be, to tell all who can hear, where to go gather for the coming work, but remember, those who need the help can’t hear CNN, CMBC, CBS, ABC, or FOX, these Media outlets are running none stop, with there 24 hour News Cycles, replaying the tapes of the devastation, and the looting, and the dead, and sick and dying, and the Old, and near death, and the filthy water.

The children are suffering, and the majority are children of color, and this a painful sight. New Orleans was a man made City, waiting for a disaster, the Local police who served and protected, and enforced the law, is where today, they stand guard alone. Along the lines that separates the poor, and the forgotten, in the devastated City, and there not showing all the high ground where the well off, are isolated, but HIGH and DRY, and those who planned to live on ground set up and filled in to be much, higher than the City, they knew one day that it all would be GONE, and the City today is GONE, completely GONE, these wealthy people who helped plan the City, and had positions of power, I’ am talking about decision making, effectual positions of power, they have planned for this end of Civilizations from day one, there homes have power, and they have water, and they have telecommunications, be it limited in scope.

I want you to know that 80% of the City is gone, so show the full extent of the 20% that’s left; I want America to see what’s left and who has what’s left.

Bush flew over and made a few speeches, but he was ineffectual in his Bully Pall Pit, Iraq has more devastation then the three States combined, and the Military is rebuilding what they destroyed in Iraq, like HOSPITALS, WATER TREATMENT PLANTS, and WASTES TREATMENT PLANTS, and all the OIL infrastructures, and the TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS… by the way, according to the Geneva Convention, no Countries Military signer is suppose to destroy, these facilities, but no one said a word about the destruction, not a word, but I digress.

America has suffered a blow of historic proportions, and the POOR, and PEOPLE of COLOR are bearing the full force, and will be scared for life from this, many, many more will die, and they will never, see America the same again, they will have a this FIXED in there minds of America, as they search in vain for family, and the life they once had.

Even the Churches have been destroyed, but the 20% will continue on and recover, and can leave, and the local Police will protect their property, while there gone, as they have all along.

I get the impression, so clear, of the powers that be, there lack of coordination, that they themselves said they planned for three years ago, and tested just last year, the reality to me is, they want as many destroyed as possible, while they slowly, turn out the help, and that help, has been so slow in coming, it can only be, on purpose, we see people right here in America dying, right in front of our eyes, and people are giving money, and asking where do you need them to go, and no one is going to there aid, not even the Army, could it be we have no Army. And with each nightfall, thousands dread the dark, they are in stark terror, what will become of them, with each Sun rise’s light… less and less of there humanity is left, and some will fall, some fast, and some slowly, slowly into anarchy, not against America, but against reality of the America, they live and are dying in, what is to become of our brothers and sisters, and the elderly, and the sick, and all the babies.

I ask all who read this to pray the Lords Prayer, and make up in your hearts; to do what you can to help.

Now this is the time for the powers that be, to call for a Nation to pray and pull together to make recovery from absolute destruction…to make a start, and to those who make the hard decisions the City, as to where to rebuild the Lives of those who lost EVERYTHING, and rebuilding, in the City is not and option…UNLESS they build the whole City…like the 20% who are sitting on the Hill…HIGH and DRY.
