This is a sad 4th of July for the Lady of the bay.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

As she looks across the country she so loves, she is in pain.
She sees people making a good gross profit, but with so many deductions one can not keep a roof over their heads. And when they go for help, they are told they make too much. It is not the net the ones who are to help look at , but the gross that is ate away before the person sees the cheek.
She sees people with jobs, but no roof. Sees children starving. Sees people with brains, but no opportunity.
So much pain she sees in her beloved land. People shooting each other . People abusing each other with words and fists.
As we celebrate remember, she is crying. And after this Independence Day we must go to work to dry her tears and stop so much pain.
