the main question: how is the world still so backwards?
the people who inspire most of us are actors
why am i so obsessed that he has not yet texted me back?
when on the other side of the world there are countries still under attack
how can i be so invested in finding out who is the father of mindys daughter?
whilst there still exists third world countries without clean water
we forget the families who worked in sweatshops living in an empty room without even chairs
but can so happily spend hundreds on that same makeup to fund the billionaires
the rich are so happy in the hotel because they got the biggest suite
when their window view is of homeless people filling the street
and when you are throwing away your food because they tell us to watch how much we weigh
please remember that millions have not even eaten today
how can the rich have everything but still be so selfish?
you will never hear them say save the children but they can scream “save the fish!”
this is not to say animals are any less important
but we should first address the problems on our doorstep
use your platform and speak we will be the best listeners
tell us how to help are brothers and sisters
there are children walking miles without any shoes
but their main concern is free the animals from the zoos
to them animals come first forget the humans
suddenly they are a hero for their tiny contributions
so quick to tweet about who’s lives matter
but let’s be honest no one ever saw them protesting with a banner
still countries are using candles because there is no electricity
obviously they send out their thoughts and prayers for the good publicity
they video then post for the world to see them giving a homeless man a water bottle
with the caption that they are our generations role model
they have the money to make a difference but they don’t
only time they help is when they have the opportunity to gloat
we need to realise they all got famous for being fake?
frequent timeout holidays because they “needed a break”
yes they have a huge platform to make everyone listen
but their money and power puts them in a physical position
if you want to call them your inspiration
they must first do good for the human population
another thing that makes me mad is breaking news: kim kardashian is now blonde!
no. show us the counties currently getting bombed
change the front pages to what we actually need to hear
human trafficking. kids disappear
stop the gossip about tv reality
talk more about police brutality
use the news to inform us
so much going on. you need to warn us
we are so oblivious we need to be educated
first and third world countries hugely separated
the right to education should be compulsory.
should be free.
not a luxury.
how can you go to a country as a reporter
and film the children dying from the lack of clean water?
guilt tripping us with the poor sanitation
when the rich can shut down the whole poverty organisation
instead we are shown adverts to make us donate £3 a month
because not even the billionaires can spare a small fund
this world is home to billions
but a group claimed it and made us the civilians
