Tired of this Reality? Let us change it!

Saturday, March 15, 2008 1:29am

I am tired of the media. I am tired of the media. I am tired of the media. I am tired of our government; I am tired of our government. I am tired of our government, I am tired of our society, I am tired of our society, and I am tired of our society. I am saying this over and over like a mantra to remind myself that when I am tired of things I desire to change them. I am not saying that I might affect a change on things but I am saying that I will die/live trying; complacency is not a proper response for myself and dare say for all of us. It does not have to be this way. It does not have to be this way. I want to repeat this to myself and I suggest you all do the same. Its is all "police and thieves" like the Junior Marvin reggae song and I am tired of this and I want myself and others (you) to stand up for what you believe and let us not resign in defeat or accept this unacceptable reality. I am speaking of the exploitation, the environmental abuses, the lies, the consumerism, the food supply and every other important issue we all know all too well about. Why is it allowed to go on? Why must I witness what is occurring with this election where we are to be distracted by Geraldine Ferraro and Obama’s pastor. I mean we are all struggling, the dollar is shit, people are being killed and dying, our streets are falling apart, the ice caps are melting and we are concerned about Geraldine Ferraro? Are we out of our fucking minds? Who cares and I have to witness four more years of Republican dominion I will not be a happy sort. It must not come to that but why is it like this? Why does it remain to be like this? They have the guns? We have the numbers! Or so the Doors song goes. I know it is not so easy but we must first believe it can be totally different. I wish so, I hope so, I pray so and I also know so, it can be different and history has showed us that and continues to do so. If Bush and his co-horts were able to do so much damage in eight years, imagine if we put the same kind of positive work in the next eight years? Is it truly as impossible as we make it out to be? I will in my own way continue fighting against the wrong I see in our surroundings and hopefully make some impact for going on like this is too painful. Everyday I hear something that should not be. Something like hearing of hard working immigrant parents being deported while their children are put into foster care or hearing how under the Bush regime Mining is considered a recreational activity on our national parks like biking and hiking. These things are criminal. Why are we allowing it? I appeal to my brothers and sisters all over the world to assist in this. It is not just the US that is engaging in these acts and their war and exploitation everywhere to combat. I do not care what your religion, race, ethnicity, class, nationality, gender is when the earth is being destroyed every day is our differerences that important? Does it matter what we believe in our how much money we have if there is no clean drinking water or air to breathe? I fear for my unborn children, my unborn grandchildren and everyone else’s. No one gave these few powerful people the right to do as they please at all of our detriment. They stole it. They took it by force. We must teach those who own the majority of our world’s resources to realize that they are in peril as well. They are also humans and money will not mean a damn thing at this rate. We must adopt responsible capitalism and true democracy in the world and stop pretending we already are. That is enough for now. I was watching Anderson Cooper (who is so gay) rip into Obama regarding his racist pastor who made controversial comments. Yes, I agree that what the Pastor had said is harmful but it was meant to a selective audience. It was meant for Black people’s ears. I think the hardest thing for Princess Cooper on CNN and other people is that Black people (many) feel resentful of how they been treated and are deeply hurt. They do not see things how those might on FOX news or in Middle America. How shocking! Maybe it’s that whole slavery thing? Most Black people feel excluded from America White society and do not feel the United States gives a damn about them. It is not un-American to think that. It is to me sad that so many Black people and other minorities feel this way and more should go to as to why they feel this way. The media goes aha how un-American but instead we should be looking at the divides as to why a popular pastor in Chicago feels the way he does as to many others. Why do people feel that the US is not for it’s people but for the rich and corporate America? There is a truth to it and instead of wondering why Michelles Obama has never felt good in America ask why does a smart, successful American Black woman (or white) feel this way? Ask why I feel this way and people I know. Why do we feel nearly ashamed these days when we travel abroad or why must I see so much poverty when I travel abroad? These are actually important questions to ask and not this other "ya hoo" nonsense. I am tired of the nonsense as well. The media must be neutralized. The government must be completely reformed. We must stop blindly consuming. We must I dare say live more like certain European nations and have our Nation be for it’s people and not exist here to milk us and keep us down. I am tired of it, I am tired of all of it but I am not going to let me be unhappy or keep me down. I see it every day and every one else sees it (the injustice, the waste). It is the proverbial stupid, fat elephant in the room that everyone ignores. Let us please acknowledge the fucking Elephant first and than tell the damn thing to get out for that fucking Elephant is Republican and they are in our way from progressing. What is an Elephant doing in the room anyway that is in itself kind of silly. Let us not go on everyday ignoring what is going around at the very least keep talking to people especially strangers, blog if you must, donate money or go to a protest but do something. We cannot afford not to and it is up to us as much as it is up to anyone else to do something. That is all, I wish you all well and thanks for reading this if you got this far. We must be patient to a degree for some things might need some coaxing.
