Darkness In America Essay

As the world turns, darkness spreads throughout the lands affecting us all with its cold grasp. Poverty, drought, plague, famine, recession, all of times problems funneling down to a worsening reality. Millions of children dying in the streets and millions without food on their table, it is clear we’re on a downward spiral. As the great godchild of humanity, the United States fights on every front the corrupting forces of evil, acting as a global police for the greater good. A shining pillar of light, breaking through the darkness, stands as the only barrier between the hordes of evil.
