They wanna go back and renew their wrongs but they can’t because looking through that glass they are trapped behind and they are left with nothing but wisps of what they once were.

Ever wonder what the world would be like if this place we call earth wasn't overcome by green paper called money with president faces on it?

Or a screen with technology called a tablet or a phone or a computer? This is merely just a picture of this screwed up planet in our solar system supposedly we are to be essential beings, but in my eyes we are nothing but mere slaves working for the higher power and we thrive for power and wealth... and if not you are merely a homeless man or women not knowing if they will make it or not.

Why not realize that this is contrary to popular belief is how corrupt of how it's?

Why not believe this is just a picture of how we are shaped but then again I was just starting to WONDER?

Why do we question it when  some people go around and ask for money because they have none to begin with? We poorly use the excuse we have no money. But if so why do these people that ask not have Michael Kors or Nike?

Why do they merely have nothing but the clothes on their backs? And because they don’t have a whole collection of their shoes or outfits.

But they take their dignity and ask with the utmost hope that you would be the person to give them what they need to survive.When those people walk by with their chins in the air and the newest pair of lebron shoes on their feet.

Those people deeply need that help and you walk around as though their is no problem going on.

Or why there is thirsty and starving in Africa and we swim around in pools? And they think of us and they envision it as why can’t I be there? And while we swim we mock them because they Can’t have that opportunity.

And it’s not just one small school or person who is going to change it but possibly as one big group because maybe if you actually put your chin down and gave a little bit of the change the jingles in your pocket as if it was christmas then maybe we wouldn’t have to question why does he smell like that and look so dirty. Because somewhere out there is someone who thinks as you do.
Maybe if you were the one in that spot wouldn’t you want that person that was once in your place to help you?

Because maybe then that wouldn’t matter in our vocabulary. But why do people need that to question it, just do it without having to be told. As if your parent is scolding you as a child just do as told and there wouldn’t be a such thing as world hunger and we wouldn’t want to crave world peace.

But yet we spend millions and billions of dollars to actually advertise upon why we should get the new food from burger king or mcdonalds. When there actually is people who don’t have anything to buy that.

Why do give the money to people who don’t have a problem and like the way it is?

But then again we are taught to not question from the youngest age and to just go with it.

Because maybe they don’t want to hear anybody else’s voice but anything of their own.

We all have a heartbeat and we are all born the same way so why do things never change things anyways.
