   Today is March 4, 2010 and just yesterday hundreds of same-gender-loving people eagerly wait in line in Washington, D.C. in a euphoric type of atmosphere, infused with anticipation, joy, celebration and hopes for a bright new future, to receive their Marriage Licenses. Washington will be the sixth place in the nation where gay marriages can take place. As one observes these happy couples it is hard to imagine that at the opposite end of the globe in Africa, nations like Uganda is considering a highly publicized genocidal type of legislation known as Kill the Gays Bill. The Bill is designed to purge their nation from gay people altogether, and if need be, by execution or life in prison. Evangelicals, who helped to inspire this draconian legislation have now fled the crime scene like a pack of fearful guilty rats, distancing themselves from the issue and the proposed legislation, clamming they had no part in its inception, in an effort to avoid international criticism for their lack of wisdom, misleading information, and involvement.

   Like many misinformed Americans, Ugandan’s blame the spread of HIV-AIDS on gay men; consequently, a conviction for being gay and HIV-positive would result in the death penalty and/or life in prison. No one seems to want to admit or address the fact that heterosexual transmission is currently the most prevalent mode of new infections by far, followed by rate increases in men having sex with men, IV drug use, and medical injections in clinics not always using sterile needles.

   Countries like Sweden, Amsterdam, and even the United States of America has condemned the proposed legislation and has threatened to impose severe sanctions against Uganda if they initiate this harsh inhumane punishment against gays and lesbians living in their country.

   One would only need to do a Google search and hundreds of related articles about this topic would immediately appear, the majority, vehemently condemning the proposed legislation. Yet, no other writer has been able to prick the hearts and consciences of people all over the world like Terry Angel Mason has with his inspiring Poetic Commentary entitled: “Uganda My Heart Weeps for You.” Below is a copy of this Inspirational message that is literally becoming one of the most talked about Poetic Commentaries ever written in response to this proposed genocide. Daily his inspiring work continues to appear in countless online magazines, newspapers, and internet sites and is spreading like wildfire globally! If you are a publisher, blogger, editor or just someone who genuinely cares about people, don’t miss your opportunity to join in this heroic campaign to save lives by printing this Poetic Commentary on your website, blog page or in your newspaper or magazine. Even doing something as simple as sharing this inspiring message with a friend will move them to action and possibly save countless lives in the process!

   UGANDA MY HEART WEEPS FOR YOU!

   Uganda, Uganda, my heart weeps for you! For you kill, murder, and imprison the innocent (those who express love differently) in the name of The Righteous One, but it is clear that you do not know Him!

   Like America, you label them pedophiles and child molesters, yet continue to close your eyes to the true heterosexual offenders, allowing them to continually rape your children and infect them with AIDS; men who foolishly believe that this will cure them from the pandemic.

   It has been said that you freed yourself from the tyranny and oppression of a king (Mwanga) who was demented, greedy, self-serving and who defiled the people and if these things be true, then this is good! But you forgot that even though he was said to be corrupt and accused of raping the people both physically and emotionally for years, still we must judge each human being by their own conduct, character, and deeds, and not punish the innocent for another’s sins.

   Uganda, Uganda, my heart weeps for you because even though the rain falls frequently upon your land in the south and beautiful lakes run through your northern region, they have not cleansed you from your transgressions for you are still blinded by hatred, fear, and intolerance, and cannot see that the sun rises upon the just and the unjust, so that all men may be wooed to the Creator by love and mercy and not by hatred and discrimination!

   For hundreds of years other nations robbed you of your wealth, stole your children and carried them away to foreign lands and enslaved them. Even today, in many regions of your country you suffer from extreme poverty because of usury and exploitation from men who lusted after your riches, saw you could not defend yourself, and carried them away to distant lands.

   You must be very careful lest the handwriting of God also appear in judgment for your offenses and likewise be written upon your walls and inscribed in your Constitution now laced with fear and intolerance, having been saturated by the influence of misguided, self-seeking American Evangelists, these words spoken by the prophet Daniel: “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN” The interpretation:

   “God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it; TEKEK: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting; PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to another!”

   Thousands of you marched in your city streets to rid yourself of a sin that you say will most certainly bring the judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah upon your land; but like the Scribes and the Pharisees of Jesus’ day, legalism and an incorrect interpretation of the Holy Scriptures have blinded you.

   Because of your hatred for what you do not understand, The Prince of Darkness deceives you yet again; prostituting you like the demented king you managed to free yourself from decades ago; have you still not heard the words of Jesus who said, “He was a murderer from the beginning?”

   Uganda, Uganda, my heart weeps for you! Don’t you know that you cannot kill the innocent, batter and abuse your children, and lock them away in dungeons of cruelty for life simply because you refuse to accept who they really are without the very King of the Universe (whom you claim you worship), championing their cause, and lifting his righteous hand of justice and judgment against you?

   He has heard the voices of the children devastated by earthquakes and disaster in Chile and Haiti and He has freed the oppressed in America from hundreds of years of discrimination. He has even delivered the Jews from the oppression of a mighty pharaoh (once thought invincible) in Egypt. Surely, He will not turn a deaf ear to innocent same-gender-loving people in your country, nor allow you to murder them without cause and your land and your people not be judged for doing so!

   Uganda, Uganda, I alone do not weep, “FOR A VOICE WAS HEARD IN RAMAH, WEEPING AND GREAT MOURNING, RACHEL WEEPING FOR HER CHILDREN; AND SHE REFUSED TO BE COMFORTED, BECAUSE THEY WERE NO MORE!” (Matthew 2:18)
