We The People

We the People once had a great nation. We could own a home and reach for the stars of our dreams. Over the years We the People gave our responsibility to others and now we rent the home we think we own, and have to ask permission to even leave the house we rent.
We the People gave up our rights and freedoms so we can feel safe. Do we feel safer, do we have more opportunities, do we have the best schools in the world, do we have the best infrastructure, the best health care? The things we are the best at are monitoring every little detail of our lives, never ending wars, being taxed on everything from before birth to after death, complaining, dieing, chasing fruitless pursuits, taking pills, blaming others for our problems.
We have over 30% of our fellows that do not work because either they do not want to, or can not find a full time job. Our life expectancy continues to decrease, our young go to fight wars for corporations and banks but never to return home, innovation is stifled in the name of the status quo, dissenting views is labeled hateful speech, education is indoctrination, healthcare is endless drugs and more drugs for the drugs side effects, our food is manufactured and poisoned with safe pesticides that require hazmat suits to work with, our water is full of chemicals, our vaccines contain mercury and pesticides, our teachers are not respected and not given the resources or freedom to teach, we are afraid to leave our homes because our neighbors may speak to us, we are forced to purchase health care that is now 3 times more costly than what we had before with less options, we pay the banks for our homes and the government taxes for our homes, cars, are right to live, breath, procreate for our total lives.
Our news victimizes us, our government victimizes us, we victimize ourselves.
We the People have given up our rights to our leaders, bankers, and corporations. We live and die for their pleasure. We are slaves and cowards. We no longer have the right to complain, we all need to shut up and enjoy and lay in the bed we made for ourselves. Cradle to grave, our lives are planned for us, everything is taken care of for us. All we have to do is give up our souls.
Welcome to America, the Land of the Victims, and Home of the Irrelevant.
