"Within the Echoes"
Just as it was thought that we had turned the corner and left many things that were thought never to be experienced again, that thing called time seems intent on boomeranging.
There are many who are determined to not see time repeat itself. Just as that voice that is carried across cavernous spaces and is returned
"Within the Echoes"
so are the actions now being experienced reminiscent to the heinous actions that once terrorized many among us. Those who were perhaps babes are now hearing the echoes that are vaguely familiar.
However, this time, they are afforded the opportunity to respond in a manner not quite similar to the responses of their ancestors and their younger selves.
I have heard in no uncertain terms that there will be no return to the nefarious actions of the past. I have heard that "we are not our ancestors."
It seems that those echoes-those reverberating within the ears of those who identify them as being eerily familiar, have hardened the hearts and the responses of those who now positively identify them as being more than familiar, but now identify them as the pleading wails of themselves and mom and pops.
THEY HAVE DETERMINED that things will indeed be different this time.
I PRAY that those who possess a desire for the past quickly realize that this is 2025, and that people refuse to be victimized, yet again!!
OUR SPIRIT...LIVES!
PEACE!!
