What more can I say

Random question.

I find it frustrating to illustrate how it is I'm feeling right now.  There seems to be a divide in the nation, in our communities, and in the world. 

Us vs. Them 

Oftentimes people mistake ignorance for power 

For instance take a person classified as being

male

white 

straight

wealthy 

 

he in turn subconsciously sympathizes with some one who is 

female 

black 

gay 

poor 

or if not sympathetic 

feels more important or more intelligent or powerful 

What we need is not sympathy 

in order for there to be equality we need a level of empathy 

We are humans 

first and only 

these definitions are not adding or subtracting from our humaness 

whether or not I was black would be of no importance to a blind man 

and whether or not I was gay should be of no importance to a straight person 

why is it that some people express levels of remorse for those who are different 

No one asked to think or feel or do the things they do 

just as the ant automatically climbs into your picnic basket 

or

strippers learn how to be really flexible 

people do things that are programmed in their brains 

we don't know how. 

but I assume thats why the earliest humans discovered the art of religion. 

Dammit. 

I'm kinda angry 

I sat and saw an interview of a famous rapper being spoken down to 

about being born in a shitty neighborhood 

by people who dont support governmental assistance 

or affordable healthcare 

how dare anybody

Maybe I'm a softy 

Maybe I don't understand that if you want to be important 

you've got to go to really awesome schools in a really nice environments

never get aroused or feel inebriated. 

How is it the RealTV can make a profit by 

going to the poorest neighborhood 

leaving an open car in the middle of the street

 with keys in it 

and arrest people for trying to steal it 

Some people can not eat. 

Some people dont have 4 dollars to get a fucking happy meal at mcdonalds

I know 

if I was hungry and hopeless 

if I couldn't pay my rent or 

if my goals in life was to simply stay alive I would do anything it takes  

People see a homeless man on the streets in the rain or the snow 

and say they prolly not even homeless 

or they just gonna buy drugs 

no! 

its not up to you to decide what the hell they spend their money on 

and obviously if they didn't need the money they would not be squashing their dignity for fun standing on a corner in blistering weather 

sigh 

I dont know anymore 

its not that I lost faith in humanity 

I just believe that the wrong ideas of morality and ethics are expressed 

people look at the rich and believe that money = power 

knowledge and your ability to persuade people to believe you is power 

Thats why I want to be a writer 

to express myself in a way people can hear me 

Why the fuck is tv so important to some people 

our eyes deceive us way more that any of our other senses. 

fuck! 

Basketball wives is not real 

Give us substance and we will produce more substance 

we produce based on the materials afforded to us 

how the fuck am I supposed to pass the SAT

if I dont even have a real teacher 

How the heck is a poor person not gonna steal if they have no way of getting money 

eliminate the problems so clear in our faces 

sick ass kids are born to poor ass families more so than rich ones 

you know the moms who eat super healthy and have time to sit at the pool and read pregnancy fucking books 

but if your poor have to work all day up until 8 months and 29 days before tiger gets here

and has to eat mcdonalds everyday because you dont have time to cook
what the fuck else is gonna happen 

man shit is fucked 

and the only thing I can do about it 

is be empathetic 

relate to people who may be "different" from  me 

because all i in all we're just trynna fight a good fight until we can't anymore.
