Selfish rich people

we need saving

Selfish rich people

how is the world still so backwards?
the people who inspire most of us are actors
worried about why we have not received a text back?
whilst on the other side of the world countries are still under attack 
my biggest stress is finding out who is the father of mindys daughter 
when still exists third world countries without clean water
we spend hundreds on makeup to fund the billionaires 
forgetting families who live in an empty room without even chairs
happy because you got the hotel room with the biggest suite
while outside homeless people fill the street
and when you are throwing away your food worried about how much you weigh 
remember millions have not even eaten today 
how can someone who has everything be so selfish?
not save the children but screaming “save the fish!”
children walk miles without any shoes
but your main concern is free the animals from the zoos
to you animals come first forget the humans
now you are a hero for your tiny contributions 
so quick to tweet about who’s lives matter
but i never saw you protesting with a banner
countries who use candles because there is no electricity 
you send out your thoughts and prayers for the publicity
you video for the world to see you giving a homeless man a water bottle 
saying you are our generations role model 
yes it is good you raise some awareness 
i admire it in fairness 
but famous for being fake?
timeout holidays because you “needed a break”
yes you have a huge platform to make everyone listen 
but your money and power puts you in a physical position 
if you want to be some sort of an inspiration 
then please do something for good for the human population

Hi Keisha, I think you have written a really thought provoking work here with loads of valid points. I feel the anger and agree...that is except about the animals. Animals have as much right as humans to be treated fairly and humanely in my book...it is not a competition...it is all a tragedy...hugs x

No Marion of course they do!! my point was simply that celebrities constantly ignore third world problems. Children and fish are dying from the same unclean water we have caused, that was all I was trying to say x x

I thought this when the football players decided to kneel in protest to the national anthem.  Not to mention to the fact that they pissed off most every veteran who served our country, the token of kneeling is a free gesture, writing a check to help stop the injustice of the impoverished in the criminal justice system, would be a better gesture.  They have the money to change the world but they don't.
