Visions of the Future

Visions of the Future

I used to wake up for work every day at 2 am,

And bust ass until 2:30 pm.

All my effort went unappreciated.

I got my check every two weeks some $ and I was glad I made it,

Because I need food to eat and have to pay rent.

Sometimes I got sad though,

I felt a great burden on my back that made it stay bent.

That is all in the past, here is how I still feel.

I feel oppressed by a tyrannical government.

From the days of our births to life sentences we’re sent.

I know I can make an impact to change things,

But I just haven’t quite figured out how.

I understand that I make a vote every time I spend a dollar,

So that’s what I’m doing for now.

Supporting organic farms and good companies

Every time I can.

But I want to do greater things,

I just haven’t figured out the plan.

I fear sometimes for the future,

That I will witness world war III.

And the second civil war,

This I too may see.

The time of collapse or change is coming.

And an important part I want to be

In building a new world.

An entire earth of WE!

No borders, masters, or slaves,

Greedy capitalist monsters laying in their graves.

No war, poverty, or sickness

Because everyone is doing their part.

Whether it’s gardening, healing, teaching,

Or spreading some form of art.

We don’t need money or stores.

Go talk to your neighbors,

That’s what they will be there for.

Some will make the clothing

And others will bring items from faraway lands.

Perhaps in hydro powered boats or wind powered aircraft.

Some will heal you with their hands!

If this is to happen however,

It will take all of us.

We must realize that we hold all of the power,

Not the governments!

Let us stand together and protect our Earth.

This is what I believe we are meant to do,

From the days of our birth.

Money and control, neither is important.

If we could all just see how much every single one of our lives and dreams are worth.

Hello Just A. Soul...

I checked on family's safety today to make sure everyone was alright from the storm...

There's an elderly woman who needs some branches trimmed...

No one will do it without her paying them money...

The situation upsets me because she has able bodies in her home and they won't help with bills or work that needs to be done...

She doesn't want to put them out because there are children too...

She could use some interior painting, roof repairs, and plumbing that needs reworking...

She can't afford to do any of it nor does she have the strength...

It's just real sad...

Great write! 

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...
