So Who Is To Blame ?

                                                                              Tell me , somebody , anybody , what is it that makes for interesting reading ? Tell me , someone , I really want to know . You can have stories of disasters , and because there are so many of them , people everywhere have become desensitized by them all . Yes for a few terrible moments we abhor the sheer savagery of a particular situation or development . But unfortunately , maybe two minutes later it's on to the next piece of news . We all do it . Lives and the loss of them , are just another piece of the human drama that we call progress .
                                                                             But what have we progressed to ? What makes our lack of appreciation to the woes of so many people , acceptable ? Sure these people don't really matter do they ? They are poor and unemployed , so as a result have nothing really concrete to contribute to their community . So as a result they are left to rot . They are left to starve . They are left to feel all of the feelings of inadequacy it can take to break them . And broke they are . Families are lost to each other because of these conditions . And seemingly without recourse , these people's aspirations for their collective future's , are left to fester without any sign or promise of change . They are the Unwanted , the uncared for , and as successive governments have ignored their plight , they are the Ashamed .
                                                                            Now throughout life I have always been of the opinion that when you keep reminding a person of how unimportant they are , eventually that unimportance gives rise to , Frustration , Anger , and then the big one , Revolt . Look around you can you see it ? More importantly Can You Feel it ? It's there in all of its glory , looking back at you every time you say no I won't pay that water charge . It's there when you say how unfair the tax system is . Its there every morning when you wake up at six A.M and you wonder to yourself why in the name of God are you having to work in some cases a ten hour day , and getting at the end of the week barely enough , and in a lot of cases NOT ENOUGH ,to merely  exist upon . Believe me , even if you find it difficult to admit , there is
Revolt in your life now .
                                                                           We live in a world filled with consumerism . Call it Virtual even , because everything we have in this world is neither solid nor real . You virtually own your house . The bank really owns it . You virtually own your car , the bank owns that too . Do you see where I am going here ? Nothing is real . The only real thing in this world is debt , and your inability to keep up with it .
                                                                          So the next time you overlook something that in theory , could easily happen to you . Think to yourself ..................................Do any of us deserve this ? Have we in some way contributed to the shit we find ourselves in ? Me personally , I really don't think so . So Who Is To Blame ?
