I have something to say.
What can I say when no one listens?
A world full of hate, war and greed,
No one even seems to care,
They only care about the ones who can't keep up; it's not the type of care you think it is.
It's the care of judgement about why they can't keep up, let alone catch up.
'It's entirely their fault that they can't keep up,' right?
Wrong.
It's honestly no one's fault that this world has gone to shit and is struggling even to stay afloat.
It's impossible to find a decent job; Even having a college or university degree doesn't help.
'Live within your means,' yes, of course. This does play a big role, but when your income is higher than your expenses, it's going to be hard to find a cheaper living situation, especially when you may rely on city transportation.
Unfortunately, money makes the world spin.
Money doesn't bring happiness, but it sure does bring housing, food, clothes, and security.
Even the programs that are available today do nothing for the average person,
You make too much for the programs, but not enough to live in a one-bedroom apartment on your own.
You make too much for food stamps, but not enough to properly feed yourself.
You make too much, but not enough to retire at the ripe age of 65.
You make too much, but you have zero dollars in savings.
You make too much, but don't have a rainy-day fund.
Doesn't matter if you are great with money, 'live within your means'; the world doesn't care.
This world isn't created for the weak. The world is created for the strong.
