You might be surprised by the title of my post, reading on should soothe you. This is spoken words by a spoken words artist.
The world is coming to an end,the air is polluted,
the oceans contaminated,the animals are going extinct, the economy's collapsed,
education is shot, police are corrupt, intelligence is shunned and ignorance rewarded,
the people are depressed and angry, we can't live with each other and we can't live with ourselves so,everyone's medicated,
we pass each other on the streets, if we do speak,it's meaningless, robotic communication.
more people want fifteen seconds of fame than a lifetime of meaning and purpose,because,
what's popular is more important than what is right,ratings are more important than the truth.
our government builds twice as many prisons than schools.
it's easier to find a big mac than an apple and when you find the apple,
it's been genetically processed and modified,
presidents lie, politicians trick us, because race is still an issue and so is religion.
your God doesn't exist,my God does and He is all loving,if you disagree with me,I'll kill you or even worst argue you to death,
ninety two [percent of songs on the radio are about sex,
kids don't play tag, they play twerk videos.
the average person watches five hours of television a day and there's more violence on the street than never before, technology has given us everything we could ever want
and at the same time stolen everything we really need.
pride is at an all time high,humility an all time low.everybody knows everything,everybody is going somewhere,ignoring someone,blaming somebody.not many human beings, money is still the root of all evil, yet we tell ouer kids don't get that degree,the jobs don't pay enough.
good deeds are only done when there's a profit margin, videos of misfortune of others go viral, we laugh and share them with our friends to laugh with us.
our role models today sixty years ago would've been examples of what not to be, there are states where people can legally discriminated against because they were born a certain way.
companies spend millions of dollars hiring specialist to make little girls feel like they need makeup to be beautiful, permanently lowering their self esteem because they would never be pretty enough to meet those impossible standards.
corporations tell us buy buy buy ,get this get that, you must keep up, you must fit in, this will make you happy,but,it never does for long.
so what can we do in the face of all this madness and chaos,what is the solution, we can love,not thew love you hear on your favourite song on the radio, i mean real love,true love,boundless love,you can love, love each other from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to bed,perform an act of kindness, because that is contagious,we can be mindful during every interaction, planting seeds of goodness, showing a little more compassion,
than usual, we can forgive because,300 years from now, will that grudge you hold against your friend, your mother, your father, have been worth it.
instead of trying to change others we can change ourselves, we can change our hearts, we have been sold lies, brainwashed by our leaders and those we trust to not recognize our brothers and sisters and to exhibit hatred and cruelty,
but once we truly love, we will meet anger with sympathy,hatred with compassion,cruelty with kindness,
love is the most powerful weapon on the face of the earth.
robert kennedy once said that few will have the greatness to bend history but each of us can work to change a small portion of events and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of a generation.
so yes,the world is coming to an end and the path towards a new beginning starts within YOU.
Thanks for reading.
