man...what would it take to change the world. to end hunger. to end poverty. to end war.
if it's ignorance that leaves us so self-consumed and apathetic...well, by all means send education...
but then you come to the complicities of finding enough teachers....
and how do you promote people to come to these 'classes'?
and how do you fund all of this?
and how do you convince people that they should be interested in the state of their neighbors on the opposite side of the globe?

how do you break the apathetic cloak that's been draped over us?
how do you crack the egocentric passions that have gained priority in our lives?

i want to stand at the top of the hills and scream out what's happening around us...
there is WAR...the killing of innocent people all in an ironic attempt to achieve peace.

there is HUNGER... approximately 30,000 people die everyday from starvation...of which approximately 85% are children younger than 5....while we squeeze once again into clothes one size bigger than last year's and scrape our heaving plates to our dogs when once again our eyes were bigger than our bellies...

there is POVERTY... children wake earlier than the sun to walk miles to school...with no shoes...wearing the same clothes they wore the day before and they day before and the day before.... while we have heaps of clothes we only wear once a year.... while we play hookie from free or available education to go shopping... while we buy 5 different kinds of one things because we like variety...

God forgive us.
