They Know Not
The American Bald Eagle, once a symbol of our nation’s strength, independence, and freedom, now stands in stark contrast to the choices we make today. As we vote against our own interests, we destroy the environment, erode democracy, and treat both Mother Earth and humanity with hatred and contempt. The consequences of our actions are unfolding in ways we cannot yet comprehend. This once noble creature cries, "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do” urging us to confront the destruction and injustice being done "in the name of America" and falsely claiming divine approval. Jesus would never.
