Godless Hand of Corruption

MURDERUR! WITCH! The people cry out as I am put in the noose. I cant believe the charges against me. They claim I practice the dark arts and that I compact with the devil. I do nothing of the sort. I am a good man, a simple farmer, a holy Christly man. How could such nonsense fill these people’s minds? They say that they saw me conversing with a spirit. But I know otherwise. I was in the woods that day yes. But I did nothing to conjure the devil. These tears in my eyes sting. I can’t stand this any longer. I must be let go. “SET ME FREE” I cry, praying for the mercy of the people. “BURN HIM, KILL THE SATAN WORSHIPER”. They scream as I grip the iron bars of the cage. Tears run down my face, blood seeps across the planks of the floor, oozing from my beaten back. How can people be so evil? How can a “Christian” community do this to an innocent man? I know what I must do. I know how I can save myself. “I AM A WITCH” “I COMMUNE WITH THE DEVIL” “I want to be free, I want to see the light of god, forgive me and I will be a good Christian man”. That was it. That was all I had to do to save my own life. Corruption, what an godless thing that has corrupted my village.

Wounds of an Injured Country

The book Shattering Glass raises many problems faced in today’s society, wealth, violence, and many more. We cant allow things like this to plague our country until it tears us apart. Our hearts must come together and patch the wounds of our world
When people think of the United States they think of freedom, compassion, and a country built on virtue and righteousness. But the dark truth is that the beautiful place we call home faces problems so devastating its impacting countries all over the world.
Wealth, when you hear the word you picture big houses, nice cars, and fancy name brand clothes. But is that what it really is? Money is sometimes called “the root of all evil” because of what its done to our country. The truth is that wealth and money have corrupted us, making us greedy and doing acts only to acquire more money or material possessions. Money is giving our youth “big head” to put it bluntly. They go to school everyday and flash the fact that they have more money than the average person. Its become almost a requirement in the U.S. that you have money to be accepted in to a clique. This raises another problem, bullying.
The lower class citizen or the “average joe” are constantly pushed around and treated like there nothing. Its an ever growing problem in schools, kids being beat up, hurt, and some even killed, due to the violence we are exposed to. Some people blame music, video games, books, or TV. But is that really who’s to blame? Or are we just trying to hide the facts that were really the ones to blame.
