Final Entry

Maybe I'm just an idealist..but I really think our society sucks.
There are so many wrongs being committed, and nobody is even batting an eye.
What good will it do if we scream out...if people just drown out our screams by pumping cheerful ignorance into their ears via I-pods, televisions, and other conveniences?

I'm tired of the excuses.
I'm tired of the laziness.
DO SOMETHING DAMMIT.

How can you look into the eyes of a child who is forced to work hard labor instead of go to school....and then just look away unaffected?
How can you witness the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer..and then just look away unaffected?
How can you see people being discrimated and hated wrongfully...and then just look away unaffected?
How can you witness migrant workers [and their children] being paid fractions of the profits their work is making...and then just look away unaffected?
How can you see everything that's wrong..and then just look away unaffected?

"If you don't stand for something
you'll fall for anything"

WAKE UP PEOPLE.
STOP THE IGNORANCE.
WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Position of Poverty

Nobody deserves to live in poverty.
Everybody needs help some time or another.
Why can't we all offer a helping hand to someone who needs it?
When did our society turn from humanistic loving people to capitalistic selfish baboons?
Why are we letting the problems in our country get worse?
When did we stop caring and instead choose to fake ignorance about the issues that are screaming out at us for help?
How can we not help?!
Why aren't we helping?!?!?!?!?!!?

Harvest of Shame


It's sad to think that our own citizens of this country are suffering.

What happened to America being the land of opportunity?

When did it turn into being the land of cheap unfair labor for our hard working migrant workers?

We now offer stained matresses and disgustingly embarassing living quarters to our workers?

We now have children as young as like 10 working in the fields instead of going to school?

The majority of people really have no idea what's really going on?

Seriously America?

Let's wake the hell up.

Letter from Birmingham Jail

Exactly the same.
Color has no influnce on character.
Color has no influence on virtue.
Color has no influence on beauty.
Color has no influence on potential.
COLOR HAS NO INFLUENCE ON ANYTHING.

The Lessons of Nonviolence

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Stolen Childhoods

This is not a childhood

This is exactly what childhood should be

We all deserve a childhood.

We need to unite to steal the lost childhoods back.

Stop child labor.
