There are others

As Christmas comes again we all rush around the shopping centers and malls trying to find that gift that will be just right for that special somebody on our lists. We yell at the other people at the traffic lights and turn into Indy drivers to get that last parking spot , acting as if the other guy is the enemy, someone to be beaten at all cost. After it is all over and the gifts have been opened , there is little time left for thinking about the less fortunate among us. There are people that are starving to death around this world, who would like nothing more than to just have a few bites every couple of days. Even right here in America , there are people who through no fault of their own are existing on nothing more than scraps. They dig in the dumpsters trying to find something to bring home to their children, if they even have a home. Millions of Americans have lost their jobs because of greed and lust for money. This single minded quest has taken away from America all that once made us a great nation. Nobody cares about you , get it while you can , seems to be our new motto as Americans. I got mine, too bad about you but could you get out of my way as you are blocking my light. Remember when we cared about something bigger than ourselves, sometihng nobel honest and desirable. Now sadly nothing. America now is in our last days and the picture is not getting any better. We are facing an election year in 2012 and we will go to the polls to elect the person who will lie to us the best and promise us the most, knowing full well that nothing will ever change for the better. But does it have to be this way. There are good people out there but their message has not been heard and is not getting through. Our system is broken and needs a complete overhaul. From taxes,jobs,housing entitlements,markets, defence spending just about every thing needs to be looked at and redone, but we are more worried about if the rich corporations can bring back the money that they earned in other countries without paying any taxes on it. I got more for me, are you still hungry? Or perhaps we are worried about some 16th century culture that has sworn vengence on us , because we rob, rape and maim all in our path. Remember Christmas? remember the reason for the season? What would Jesus do.
