Wednesday Wake-Up @NWCreativeUnion

We live to fight another day

waging war

on drugs

on crime

on that that we don't understand

though no sincere effort has been made to even try.

We live to spend another day

going broke

for bread

for milk

for shelter

for rags so when we dance in the rain that still falls freely

at least we aren't dancing naked.

We live together

yet allow our differences to separate

rather than celebrate

our uniqueness

the things that make us tick

unity's the trick

but we don't get it.

Drowning in a mob mentality

questioning what it means to be free

not realizing 

the illusion it has always been

when your bred to lose

not to win.

Competition

Greed

these are the new religions

don't confuse the definition of capitalism

with our off-base interpretation.

In theory

perfection

In the hands of men...

genocide

We're all in this together

and we need to start talking.

Tolerance

does not mean acceptance

indifference

can kill.

Responding to Roger's Wednesday Wake-Up over at the New World Creative Union where we're opening up a dialogue and asking you to lend your voice, your pen, your brush, your camera...what needs changing, how can we bring it about? For what it's worth...I think we need some changing!

Due to time constraints and an unexpectedly busy evening and day ahead, I'm also posting to dVerse for Victoria's Stream of Consciousness prompt for MeetingTheBar...I couldn't miss it!
