This Is Who We Are

We never attempt to fly when we are ready and stable.
It is never until we realize we are falling through the sky we spread our wings.
There are those of us that are quick learners.
as for the others they are left for failure.
If those who learned to fly would take the time to teach those of us who failed, we could all soar.
But we live in a world where we are forced to fend for ourselves.
We are our own killers.
So the next time you watch the news and you ask yourself why?
Get up and look in the mirror and think about what you could do to help and say why not!

We are forced to live in this world wether we like it or not. And it is so much easier to say what the problem is and to do nothing about it. Well I believe if we speak our mind with much thought and study. And to make those who feel the same way speak up. And those who speak up but do nothing to change it, I hope we make them feel obligated to a change. I'm sick of the hurt and fear and being forced to think that we have to be a society that is fighting to live. Everyone is so wrong! Because no one will say what they need to say. There is always something holding them back. And i will be the first to say I have been a hypocrite. We all have. We all feel inspired and say things we don't really mean. I mean look at the promises of the presidental canidates. I know you ask yourself how they can promise such things.

The bottom line is our economy is falling apart and not many people stand for our morals that this country was originaly built on by our founding fathers. We need a wake up call people. EVERYONE OF US!! Lets start a movement. Lets fix this nation piece by peice! get up, Do something!! Lets get United again. I purpose we have a national WAKEUP DAY!!
