Why is it that we


Why is it that we pay for the things we enjoy?

We research pictures of places in our world we cannot see in person because of the financial issues that face us everyday

We work hard just to be tired at the end and do it all over again.

Why is that?

We think that  shelter is what we call home. I think not. This planet. This world. Its our home.

I would rather live with the wild than live under a roof that I must feel miserable in.

Why is it that we don't connect with animals? Is that not our family? We may speak different languages, but who is to say that all of our langues are not the same. Love is one language everyone speaks. Even the Devil himself.

 

This is a world where the color of your complexion determines your fate. Determines your happiness. Determines how much respect you get. Why is that?

Who decided that one was better than the other in this big world we live in?

Being in prison is about the same as livng a "normal life." We are not free. No.

If nothing in this world had a price, and if there was no such thing as trade, or money, how gratful would we be? 

The world needs a big change. It may not happen today or tomorrow, but down the line a change will come for the better.
