A petty doomed race.
How often I have watched the news or read the paper to hear or read about the problems here and there around the planet. I despair that our leaders already have been given the solution to the problems but have done nothing about it. World hunger could be ended today, this very day by the stroke of midnight it could be over. We have the food and the supply resource to get that food there. More than that we have the technology to prevent it happening again and make land wasted into fruitful food producing land. We already know how to grow food without the poisons that we use but we do not do it. Global warming could be STOPPED right now if we wanted it to but it is always someone else’s problem, someone else should do something about it. Recycle and do this and that, people are dumb and lazy, yes that includes me. Government could meet and end the global warming effects with ease by listening to the real advice of the experts, stop that, change that and put this in place. The internal combustion engine has been obsolete for decades and we have the ability to make engines that give off water as a waste product. We all know this already. War, this we can stop also with a planet run security system that removes all weapons and more important a body that removes the reason to fight in the first place, that could be started today. We all know the reasons that we are killing ourselves and our leaders know it also. Money, greed an power are the only tiny things that stop us being what we could be…but unfortunately this is the driving force of the human race and why we push so hard. Global re evaluation and re education is what is needed….and who can be bothered to do that!
Not I for one, can not be bothered to ride my bike to work, pay the extra for organic food. Sure I will say I am doing my bit for the planet with putting plastic in this bag and paper in that one. I turn down my heat a few degrees and even buy clothes from places that do not do use sweatshops. Just enough to get by and ease my conscience of what is going on so I can say ‘well, I am doing my bit’ right? Maybe not, maybe it takes a bit more than that, maybe the media that has supposed to be the watchdog of the people but now the puppet of the Government it wants in place. Who looks out for the people of the planet? The people don’t, the leaders don’t and the media only cares if it is SENSATIONAL enough to sell the paper and take you away from copping a sight of some tits on page 3 in the paper rival next to it on stand. How many magazines do we need to entertain? We have them already. Our world media has fallen so far short of the expected needs and responsibilities that it held in trust to the people that it is common place now to dismiss what a paper prints anyway. Unless it is about David Beckham taken out as Captain on page 1 and …oh yeah.. Some bird got raped on some common in London, stuck on page 9 at the bottom. The media that does tell of the problems that we face is seen as a small ‘radical’ magazine and dragged into court more times than it is read till it gets shut down.
The individual taking responsibility for the planet could do so much? Why the hell does the Government think we voted for them? Ah yes, how naive of me I always forget about the ‘sponsors’ of the government campaign to get in power, to serve the people of that land. The only idea I have not seen sorted out is the one to replace our present economics and the reason being that it would topple the power base that the ‘elite’ has. Money, power and greed it just always seems to come back to that does it not? Why should I help? I have my slice and am doing okay, my kids not starving slowly to death, it’s not my country that global warming is killing (yet, and I should be dead by then so I will just enjoy the longer summer and better tan). Yeah so true, perhaps I should just get out there and forget the rules, the rules not that are placed by the biased legal system that are played and paid by the people that practice law…Your Honour…. Honour, you remember that word before you are ‘forced’ to sleep with the Devil in order to get your slice that bit bigger. You scratch my back Joe and will scratch yours. Perhaps one day you may get your back scratched just because someone thought you looked itchy and wanted nothing in return…then again I will be dead by then so why should I care…why should I try?
Maybe because I have seen the simple evidence presented and that is a fact that has remained since the planet was formed…anything that cannot live in harmony with the planet becomes extinct. The thing that remains with me each day is that we will be the only ones that went to extinction with the full knowledge and conscious premeditated thought that we knew how to stop it and killed our selves anyway.
I have about 30 years left, maybe, so fuck em all. Why should I care? Why should I have not have the faster car, bigger house, flash holiday…. Then again…why should I even obey the laws…as long as I get a good lawyer and find the loophole then it’s all good to take the piss and get the leap ahead? I noticed when watching many things on tv that people who practice law see it as a game and players just work to try and get the best for the ‘client’ against the other, even when the other is the people. I am not speaking about criminal law but corporate law and how to evade tax get passed safety legislation and even how to get out of paying a pension with the bankrupt laws. It just never seems to end and the shadows will always cover the vermin that feed on the remains of the human dignity. All these people are responsible for putting none global helping policy in place and should be held accountable. Only when the balance of money, power and greed is tipped against people do they sit up and listen. I still recall the heads of tobacco making a very public declaration that ‘no, I do not believe that nicotine is addictive’ when they all knew, when it was shown over and over again that smoking was killing people. Freedom of choice? You have no choice of an addiction that is why it is an addiction. So why does the government not just stop the companies from selling them? Yes we all know why…You are the leaders of this planet, put there to try and make our lives a little better and make our planet a little safer. You lead us with our consent, please take a moment to look around and see where you are leading us to…please. You all have the power that we the people of the planet gave to you to look after us, do away with the ‘sponsors’ remember why you started out and what you wanted to achieve for us. Can any of you look at what is going on and say 'yes we are moving in the right direction?' We are dying, some slowly and some quickly but we are all dying as a race and you the Leaders can stop this anytime you want to. It is not enough to do enough to look popular, spin doctors, public relation teams and quick-witted quips made at the ‘opposition’ that wants your ‘job’. Do your job, make it better and let history be the judge.if we have a history to pass on in the millennia to come. When was the last true Leader, Lincoln? Gandhi? Why do we recall them? Could it be they took the unpopular route and did what we all know is right anyway. Cut past the piles upon piles of economical issues that have clouded our sight for so long and just do the right thing, all at once. No country, no money, no reason to hate and kill. Dream on John Lennon and the rest of the dreamers you are recalled at home on the 50 inch plasma screens as a nice song to have a single malt to after a long day selling stocks and sticking the knife in the others back to get ahead.
Sweet dreams, I am pleased you are not here to see how close to the end we are getting.
