Sept 11, 19 years ago, it was early morning and I sat at my office desk drinking coffee. My boss called me on his cell phone. He was driving into work. All he said was " Barbara turn on your radio". That is how I learnt that the World Trade Center had been attacked.
Soon, all company members were advised to go to the dining room.A small Television had been set up. We watched as our world fell apart. Looking back on this day, this is when our country changed. This is when a good country turned away from its citizens. This is the day that our country turned dark.
We started a bad war in Afghanistan and Iraq which has lasted over 19 years later. Many lives have been destroyed or killed. Walking wounded vets come home with mental problems and loss of limbs.
People in the country wanted a change and voted for Trump who won and in four year, has destroyed our country even more. These past four years have been very stressful as this mad man destroys the democratic government that we once had.
He did nothing when the Corna 19 virus was killing hundreds of people in China. He told us to drink bleach. He refused to wear masks and his followers mirrored his bad behavior. The Pandemic came and businesses closed, people lost their jobs, and people died.
Six months of this Pandemic and people are still dying. The country has cities are rioting. National Guard and Police are shooting and killing people.
I don't know what I will do if Trump wins the election this November or if he loses and refuses to step down. I just don't know what I will do.
It is a dark day and I think a storm is coming.
