A week ago I had no real idea of what it is like to be in Terri's body.
Today, thanks to Judge George Greer, I'm beginning to understand.
I'm crying out, but no one can hear me. I want to get up and walk out of this nightmare, but my legs won't move me.
I want to scream at the man who is responsible for this, but he is out of range of my voice. He won't come near me. The coward.
I'm totally helpless.
And I'm so thirsty, thirsty for justice, but no one is giving me any.
I can see the court buildings, great heaps of stone, and scraps of paper, but no faces appear,no humanity.
I know my heart is beating, I can feel it. My tormentor could too if he would come near and place his hand on me.
I want to live.
I WANT TO LIVE.
I WANT TO LIVE!!!
If only I could rise up. I would do something. Where are my legs? Why don't they move?
I'm so utterly helpless.
Help me.
Good analogy. We now have a KING GREER....scary.
Do those words sound familiar to you? Christ NEVER advocated breaking the law of the land. Why do you suppose that is? Because it is the law that pulls men out of the caves. It is the law that gives man dignity. If you don't like the law, work to change it. It didn't get into this shape overnight, it will not be fixed overnight. This is the culmination of years of neglect.
Amen
There are those of us who know how you feel, friend.
