Hopes and dreams
Hopes and dreamsImagine waking up one morning on the sound of the birds whistling. Walking out side looking at the blue sky, while the cool breeze blowing through your hair. Sitting on the grass with the flowers surrounding you filling the air with its beautiful aroma. Suddenly the whistling turns into a loud harsh sound. The sky turns gray and becomes darker as time passes by. You find your self viciously thrown in a center of people suffering from illness and poverty. They all hold that violence look in their eyes. They hold a sense of rage and revenge with in them. They turned into wild animals thinking of nothing but how to survive in the wilderness. This is the situation we live in now, we forgot the meaning of peace, and we remain with poverty, racism and war.
Now open your eyes and look around you. Don't shut your self from the real world and glance at the rich and famous. They are nothing but the minority, look at what is surrounding you. Go ahead and take a walk down an inner city street if you dare, where the homeless sprawl across sidewalks and children roam the streets like wild dogs. The real world is lying right under there feet.
We are starting to believe that the poor will always be with us, its something we must learn to live with. So we build more prisons and hire more police to protect us from the underclass. Unfortunately we forgot to ask ourselves a very important question, is that the way to cooperate with the poor? It is not there fault that they were born penniless, but it is our fault for abandoning them from our lives and pushing them away
from living a happy life. We were all born into this world and hold a right to enjoy it. So
I hope that in the future we will learn how to wash a child's tear, and help the elderly to survive with no worries and so carry this poverty outside our world.
