Plastic World MAG

By Anonymous

We have time, limitless it may seem.
We have children,with endless hopes, and endless dreams.
These same children sit scared, asthey watch Mommy stick a needle in her arm.
And we stay oblivious, most aren'teven alarmed.
We have politicians, with plastic smiles and a one-way mirrorfor eyes.
Most just remain deaf to those cries.
Often times the sand seemsto run out too soon.
The human race screams, as we are branded inignorance.
We are a society starved of morality.
We have people, and moreand more people.
Where the important base of the day is, "What time isthe new Freddie Krueger sequel?"
More and more people.
Who sit backstale, and unyielding to the loud tongues of adversity.
We are stuck insideour own little plastic world.
Where we view violence, war, and death on our TVscreens,
And without taking another glance, turn it back to the white andgreen football team.
It seems our sand is running out much toosoon.

&quot;The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one.&quot; <br /> &quot;Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light.&quot;

This is so simple, yet so powerful. Your opinion is very strongly stated and while I agree with you, that isn't what stood out to me in the article- what stood out to me is how you put this. This is so obvious, this idea, yet you manage to show it so even those who are in this little plastic world might have a chance of fighting their way out of it.
