Reasons to be Angry - Part 1
If you're not angry about something - what planet are you even on?
There are so many real things to be scared of, hateful towards and be angry about
Why do so many choose the most base things to be scared of, hateful towards and angry about?
Like colour, body type, hair colour, sports teams, nationality, creed, beliefs that don't match our own, gender, sexual orientation, dietary choices - so much ridiculousness
It is a smokescreen to the real issues of the world. the news that's happening when the less important news is taking prominence on mainstream and social media...X marks the spot, put that filter on and smile your happy smile as the world goes to pot
The greedy deception in every government, pick your favourite, suffer at the hands of your least, decisions made on your behalf, by people unaffected by those decisions
the desolation of the planet - is ice melting really a huge worry? Look at that animal struggle to find shelter, isn't it funny? it's not you, your child or even your pet, so why worry?
the devestation of the natural world, because the rainforests are too big really, they need to be cut down to size, just so they know who's the boss around here. Choke the trees, litter the seas
the destruction of the family, if blood is thicker than water, why do so many spill it without a care, whether father or mother, brother or sister, son or daughter
the desecration of humanity, because it's only fair that food is only made available to those who can afford it, no toilet paper, clean water and sanitary products for you poor people, and obviously human traffickers help with controlling the population. Isn't that obvious to everyone? Don't think about it and crack open that Prime Meta Moon (other flavours are available)
the displacement of actual people, real people. The latest trending invasion, the latest trending immigration problem. the latest natural disaster, boats in the Channel, sneaking into the coasts and borders
I may not have the solutions, I may be just shouting into the dark, but we all know one thing - so much is just not working.
