A Lonely Heaven (15-12-2006)

Each day I venture into the world, with one thing on my mind; Make the world better for those to come. So many have so little; too few have too much. I care not how you came by your riches; I care not for the "Family Fortune." I care about those who need what you take for granted.

Each day millions of children, starve and die around the world; while the rich throw food in the garbage. There are people without clothes, wearing rags, while the closets of the rich expand and bulge with clothing they can't even remember buying. The poor without shelter, risk exposure and death, while the rich own multiple home, apartments and buildings with no-one in them.

If these are the people Mankind aspire to be, then, look you not for a place in Heaven; for there is no room for YOU!

Man says, it's not a sin to be greedy; though Greed is Avarice, and Avarice is the first Deadly Sin. Mankind wonder around their self-important lives, calling on their Gods to protect them, as they compile their riches; while they do nothing to enrich the lives of others. your prayers have fallen on Devilish ears; where else comes the wealth, and riches. Your contracts have been numbered and filed.

Your accommodations await YOU.

How much is Too much?

How many have to die before mankind really cares?

How many children should starve before mankind share their plate of food?

How many should go naked, before mankind spares a jacket?

How may cars do you need? how fast should it go? How luxurious the ride to HELL?

Churches around the world; regardless of religion, sect, denomination, ethnic background; regardless of who they pray to; regardless of how they pray, have all failed in their quest.

Many say "Kill the Infidel"; when they are themselves the "Infidel." Christians say, "Follow the Light"; when they are themselves in the "Dark." Every faith has only "ONE" underlying philosophy; Love your fellow man, as if he were your brother. God's Golden Rule: "Do unto others, as you would have them do unto You." Find me One Million in Six and a half Billion souls on this earth, who can say they follow the "Golden Rule" rule without fault: never wavering for self gain. Anyone who truly is his brother’s keeper. Anyone who would share all there is on this world to share.

Poor families, know well how hard it is to survive, as the rich fill their coffers with the wealth from your pockets, and share nothing. Know well the slavish jobs you do; while the rich languish at resorts, in exotic places, patting each other on the back, for the jobs the poor has done, and share nothing.

Is it not time to stop coveting a better life, and start to lead a bettor life. What care you for the wealthy who are jailed for their theft of your money? What care you for the wealthy who cry foul, because they, like us are caught driving drunk, or high on drugs, or molesting the innocent, making statement, that show their nature? Is it "NEWS" when it happens to you? The only time you'll find yourself in the news paper surely, is when you die. We all die.

How much money do we need, when we die? How much clothing do we need, when we die? How many cars do we need, when we die? How much food to fills our stomachs, when we die?

Watch your Television, see and remember; the people on there, don't care about you, only for the money to give them, or the ways to make them richer. Advertisers, world wide, portray the poor average person as an idiot; wasting their lives, chasing riches, to purchase what ever they are selling; Wasting what little money they have, on material things, on expensive things, on needless things; while children around the world care only for tomorrow, flipping the coin of Life and Death.

Banks fill they coffers; their executives may grow fat on your hard earned money; while they refuse to help you get ahead. They'll lend your money to those who are rich, but not to you. Corporations grow fat on the sweat of your brow, but never share the wealth with those who made them rich.

When will we say no more. When will we say STOP? When will we take back our lives? When will we care for the "Future Custodians of Paradise," each, every and all children; everywhere.

What legacy do we leave? what lessons are we teaching? what kind of world are we leaving behind? All the money in the world could never buy another planet for our children to live on; if we destroy the one, we have today.

If you can't understand that! You need not look for a place in "Heaven", or whatever "Here After" you believe in. Whatever your religion believes happens to your when you pass on; for yours has been a "FAILED QUEST."

Viewpoint

What You See is Not, What you See.

The View from both of the Floor

#Interfluence
I'm not too sure, but while the People of the World find themselves in the quagmire that is United States Politics; witness the similar, yet polar opposing views of the two individuals seeking the Office of President; they could obtain the #Power to #Enact change to better the lives of the People of the USA. I ask one question;
"What truly has changed?"
1) The USA still has one of the highest rates of Unemployment.
2) The USA still has an increasing percentage of Homelessness.
3) The Salaries & Wages earned have not kept pace with those of Executives, CEO and Big Business owners, who owe those profits to the hard work of the employees they refuse to pay.
4) Greed and Corruption are out of control; reaching to the top echelons of both Government and Incorporated Business.
5) The Protection of Citizens and the Enforcement of Law has been sent back to the Lawless Era, when the Fastest Gun set the Rules.
6) Civil & Human Rights detailed in the Hallowed Documents of the founding of their Nation can be observed to have been rescinded; taken back by an established & stagnant Organization; the Government has proven to be equally: Bigoted, Ignorant, Biased and in most cases outright Prejudice, offering Presidential Power as they choose or denying them when they are obligatory.
7) The Wealthiest secret their ill-gotten Fortunes, Evade Taxation, while claiming they don't have enough.
8) A Strong USA is based on a Healthy USA, but Healthcare is available only to those with Wealth to afford it, while the poorest go without; working in Companies making Billions.
9) The Media dictates the Values, Ideals and the Ideologies of the masses; spin, sensationalize and twist the Truth at every turn to ensure they maintain an Ethnic, Religious and the Racial tensions that divide the Nation, when #Unity is the Ideology of the "United" States.
10) Polarized as they are in this climate of Political Division; the Republicans and the Democrats both fail in the Obligations, Service and the Governing of a once great Nation.
A New Rome prepares to fall, as the divides between Wealth & Poverty; Justice & Injustice, Law & Order, Public & Private become opposing side of a single Coin; like the Number 6 or is it 9; observed from diverse points of view, when the truth is obvious...0 has changed in over 200 years of growth.
Is that what the Country calls Change?
The Poor clutch at Straws, while bales rot in Wealthy Fields.
Many things can be #True, but there can only be One #Truth...and understanding the difference is a Sign of Growth.
From observation: The Nation has not outgrown it's Childish Infancy.
So as the Nation elects their side of a single ideal; the Truth goes unnoticed by everyone mired in this Political Race; when it should be about the increased and renewed Division of a People the deserve to be #UNITED!

Equality

No Equality, No Balance; Without Standards!

#Interfluence:     
Look upon this Globe, this Earth; from this distance it seems so Peaceful a place to be, but there is a Hypocritical Species that share it with the other animals that call it home.

    Confused? Don't be! Mankind is that hypocrite that speaks with forked tongue; lies through its teeth and bears false witness to idea, ideal and ideology, while languishing on Paradise they rape, scuttle, ravage and war over with each waking day. They, the only species that cries out for Peace and seeks it through War. They they only species that cries out for Justice, as they seek that though Crime and Corruption. They only species that cries out for Civil and Human Rights, but seeks these through Oppression, Repression and Obsession.

    Breaking each and every Rule, Commandment and law they and their Gods have imposed on them as the means to ensure Balance, Equality, Harmony and Peace; they seek opposition to all things Humane, Humanitarian and Charitable. Oh yes, there are small numbers that strive to satisfy these Ideals, but for the majority of Humans inhabiting the Earth, the number is far too small to exact any form of change to the Status-Quo!

     Look to the Governing Bodies in every Nation and see with open eyes the Corruption, Greed and Tyranny that has been installed in the lives of the less fortunate by those who won, earn or were elected to their positions on the back of those very less fortunate they promised to aid.

     The Equality spoken of, preached, demanded can never be attained as long as there are members of the species who believe themselves better, greater, more deserving or more important than any other member of the species. Equality can never be reached as long as there is a Class Structure, Castes, Have-nots and the demonstrated Biases, Prejudice, Hatred and Bigotry that set one Culture, Ethnic Group, Colour, Religion or Language against another.

     How does the "United Nations" serve Mankind, when its Leadership are members of the very Countries that promote some of the greatest Crimes and Violations of Humans, Human Rights, Civil Rights and Liberties, while pointing a culpable and accusing finger at other Nations doing the same and exclaiming shame on them. Civil and Human Rights are violated in every corner of this round Globe and who will challenge the Status-Quo, when Fear has them rooted like so many plants to their lot in Life?

    Without a Single Standard for Civil and Human Rights honoured by all the members of the Human Species; Equality cannot and will not exist. It is difficult to follow those who fail to 'Lead by Example.' It is difficult to attain Peace, Balance or Harmony without setting Standards by which all Mankind can be treated as Equals, not just the mere Lip Service given to such ideas, Ideals and an Ideology that is the Foundation of many Ethnic, Cultural and Civilized Societies.

     Earth must have a Unified Standard across all Nations, that cannot be violated without the harshest of deterrents and countermeasures to maintain that Standard. No Organization; No Group; No Civilized; No Third World; No Individual is above the Standards of Human Rights, because no Human is born less than Human.

     If this is not your belief, than you are part of the Problem and not the Solution or the Resolution and thus there can be only one Absolution for the Human Species and that would be Extinction.

Look around at the World beyond your backyard; the EXTINCTION has begun!

How many Charters, Proclamations, Codes and Constitutions have been written to ensure Equality? How many of them have been Honoured? How many lives have been lost to Mankind's Ignorance, Bigotry, Hatred, Prejudices and their Unjust treatment of their Fellow Humans; and for what: Wealth, Infamy, Power and Affluence? All these are fleeting Mirages of a bygone Era, proved to be the Destruction of Civilizations Past and Present. Has Mankind refused to "Learn for their Mistakes' or do they choose to extinguish themselves? Mankind makes of themselves the E.L.E they fear from beyond the borders of Earth.

RACISM can be EXTINGUISHED

If History has taught Humankind 1 thing; it is that Bigotry, Prejudice, Racism, Inequality and Injustice of any kind are forms of Ignorance & Fear and their Supporters are as blind as Moles. Crawl back into the your holes and stay buried.

"We shall overcome, someday," Martin once said; but not this day, it seems.

Thousands of years of Slavery; where the focus has not been on the "Crime of Slavery," but on the specific Racial Degradation and Tension, which cannot be addressed by a simple saying, "Suck it up or Forget it;" or as something the Media started. The beginning is more deeply ingrained in the psyche of North America; the KKK vs Brothers of Elijah; a prime example and many Groups that spread Hate, Fear and Ignorance; Neo-Nazism, Anti-Semitism, Anti-Muslimist, Anti-Church, Homophobia/Hetrophobia twist, Sexists and many other countless small organizations around the World that promote Fear, Hate, Biases and Injustice based on a number of criterion.

The World is Minority Rule, because they have the Finances to keep the rest of the World at War; fighting because of Fear, fighting; because of Hatred; fighting Ignorance and Oppression. Yet; their hands seems clean, even as stained with blood as they are, because others do their handiwork and are handsomely paid for such endeavours.

Unfortunately; these flames are fanned to a blaze best and fastest, because of hundreds of years of unabashed injustice and tension, begun with enslavement and is a opportunity to further separate the Black and White peoples of America, because in that country, they believe it's a National Security Matter.
A friend posted to me; "I should consider how far things have come," but in doing this his profile was Al Jolson in Black Face...an extreme example of how America once thought of Black People. When Actors in Black Face walked through the front Door, while Billy Holiday, Sammy Davis Jr. and a host of talented Black performers were told to use the Servants entrance at the rear.
Racism is Alive, Well and Spreading across the Globe; a conflagration of Epic proportions; a Fire that will not die, because there is more Fuel than Extinguisher.
You want to put this Fire out; you have to erase Mankind from the History of the Earth, because it began with Mankind; it will end with Mankind's Extinction.

I am not saying, "NO MORE!" I am saying "KNOW MORE!"
