In All of My Life I've Never Been So Ashamed

I don't know how to put into words what my heart is feeling.  All I know for sure is that in my heart there is a huge void and a lot of pain; and both of these are constant and relentless.  Since June 25, 2009, I have come to see my country through a completely different set of eyes, or at least it's judicial process.  When this day came to pass, this June 25, 2009, I had no question that a speedy remedy to these events was sure to take place.  How could it not?  After all, we were talking about the unforgivable crime of murder against America's most beloved son.  Or was I seeing something that America did not see?  I could never have been convinced that after nearly 16 months,  still nothing would have even began to be in resolution.  Nothing!  I am an American.  I believed that truth and justice through a judicial process was the birth right of all of this country's governed citizens.  Was I mistaken?  Is it all a myth under which we have all been shrouded; a false reality, a half truth? I hope and yes, I pray, that there will be a true justice in Michael Jackson's untimely death and that the judicial process will work on behalf of this man who gave his whole life so that millions if not billions of people could learn to love each other and the world of which they are, we are, all an integral part.  Too much of nothing is still too little of anything.  For Michael Jackson's rights and those of his children and his family, America, please stop wasting time and do something.
