If I had a hammer
I’d hammer in the morning
I’d hammer in the evening
All over this land
I’d hammer out danger
I’d hammer out a warning
I’d hammer out love between
My brothers and my sisters, ah-ah
All over this land

society’s perception of the hammer changes from generation to generation.

the hammer was and is celebrated by jews as a sign of rebellion, religious freedom and re-dedication. judah, the revolt’s leader, was nicknamed “maccabee” or “hammer.”

in another generation, charles martel, statesmen and military leader, found the hammer as a powerful symbol. he was assigned the moniker of “the hammer.”

in the 60s, pete seeger’s song “if i had a hammer” brought the hammer to symbolize progressivism.

in the 90s, stanley kirk burrell made the hammer his own. he, as mc hammer, used the symbol for celebration, entertainment and unity. his popular songs, dance moves, and “hammer” pants brought happiness to many people throughout the world.

in the 2020s, the hammer has now become a symbol of the failed re-imagining of criminal justice system. rampant and high profile robberies throughout the united states have employed hammers. many progressive politicians’ moral failures have been now exposed.

recently, a large group robbed a homedepot of its hammers. the stolen hammers were likely were intended for future crimes. in the united states, much publicity is being assigned to these break-ins and smash and grab robberies. abc7chicago.com

progressive criminal justice policies have been well received by organized criminals. they have been given a roadmap from government as to what crimes should be committed. as a result, many cities are experiencing both societal disruption and law enforcement corruption. sadly, citizens are now being asked by law enforcement officials to comply with criminals’ demands.

residents now feel their quality of life is threatened. there is a legitimate fear of being subjected to a robbery and becoming collateral damage. one security guard has already been sprayed with a caustic substance during one of these crimes. there are reports that these criminals may be armed. it is just a matter of time until there will be violence upon shoppers, workers, law enforcement, and bystanders.

the hammer, sadly, now has an unfavorable light. perhaps, it is time for society to take back the “hammer.”

in these times, isaiah, would perhaps opine: “one day they shall take hammers and return them to their honored task as a tool of building and trade.

be well!!
