Why do we live in a world full of so much ? People come to our country and spit on the flag. Why do rich people always take away from the poor? With budget cuts on medicare, education, closing factories and laying off families who have nothing, but the life they're living today. Why does the government always help other countries before it takes care of its homeland, USA. Why does God allow so much pain in a world where love should rein. Why do you go to jail for life for selling to people who want to get hooked, when rapist and get off free. Why play the lotto when your chances are a million to one. Why buy People,US Weekly,Entertainment and Vogue magazines to remind us of how the celebrities waste money on dumb ass items like that 1000 dollar jean that could of feed a family for two months, Or buy a watch for 250,000 dollars just to show off their ice knowing dam well they can't even tell time. Or spend half a million on a car that won't live past the age of five. Human Kindness has left our world. The poor will never come up to make it in this world. The rich corporation will always us all over this earth. Don't these s know without us the consumers, buying their , They would all be broke mother ers. Then maybe they would finally know how it feels to be poor, looked down upon without any funds coming in from the right. Human Kindness where are you my friend?
Reason for writing:
For the people of New Orleans, Mississippi, AL, Florida and the homeless, jobless and for anyone that the government has forgot. Plese don't give up on making a better life for yourself and loved ones. I pray for you all each day. I wrote this because of the sadness that I see in the world each day. How can the government allow it's people to live like this, without a home, a job or a chance to get back on their feet to make it in this world.
