There has got to be more to life than this...
sitting at red lights, racing to work, talking on cell phones, working, rushing through lunch, mailing packages,grocery shopping?
Let me take this time to say that I think America can best be represented by rush hour traffic. It's chaos. People swerving. People honking. People yelling and using sign language. People at a stand still. People rubber necking, bottle necking, and any other type of necking. Police lights. Broken down cars on the shoulder of the highway. People rocking out to the sound of their own voices and their steering wheel drum solos, cause there is nothing better to do. It's a mess. It's hectic. It's wrong.
And as Americans we are a mess. That's why i say there has to be more to life than this...
There are currently one million people living in abject poverty.
Over 27 million are enslaved. Thousands of those enslaved are being sex trafficked...
Populations around the world being wiped off the map by AIDS.
Children by the thousands dropping out of school, and even more never seeing a classroom.
All this oppression going on under our noses and what do we do? ... we work 40+ hours a week so we are able to afford the finer things in life. Now I do realize this is not everyone situation, but I do know it is for a lot of people. Can we please just take a second to save a life. Or at least just give to those less fortunate then ourselves.
The "American" way of living is a choice, a choice I'm not willing to make.
