Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall
As I reflect back on the history of the United States of America, I chose to look at the chain of events that took place
after World War I. This country went through a vast change due to immigration, loss of jobs, during the Great
Depression (fall of the stock market). As this nation has always done, found a way to come out of adversity, and
stay upon the wall.
The wall that I speak of is power. During the Second World War, when Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese,
one of the highest ranking officers in the Japanese Navy stated "We have awakened a sleeping giant." The United
States was first in Education, first in Manufacturing, first in Nuclear Science (due to the importation of German
scientists), etc. The United States has always had an abundance of food, and has always provided a way for its
citizens to prosper.
As I stated from the beginning, Humpty Dumpty is the United States of America, which was founded upon religious
freedom. Yet, we fell when we took Prayer out of schools. We fell when we established the Free Trade Agreement,
which sent a lot of our jobs to other countries. We fell in the Nuclear Arms race, and we are the only country to use
the Nuclear Bomb on another country.
We are now in a recession, our leaders are scrambling to find a solution to the problems that Americans are facing
today. Crime, discrimination, poverty, housing, loss of jobs, deterioration of the value of the dollar, and the list goes
on and on.
Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall. The wall is the Love of God, that allows us as human beings to relate and
communicate with each other. We, as a people, have allowed God to become second, third, and fourth in our
government, and our personal lives. Humpty Dumpty Sat On A Wall of power, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. It will
take all of God's leaders through Prayer to Almighty God to put Humpty Dumpty together again.
