We the People

We the people

Are the system's sheeple

Walking around like we took a sleeping pill

It hurts my cerebral to see

We grew up built on being selfish and greedy

Are we all different, or is everybody equal

It's funny how the more people go to college, the less a degree is worth

And that piece of paper doesn't count as experience

But you need experience to get the job, and you need the job to get experience

So you can spend up to 10 years in college and still end up at McDonald's

There are people who have worked the same position for 20 years despite good work ethic yet they are never promoted

And you wonder why people are in poverty

While the people in poverty are the government's property; having to live in dangerous, run down conditions because they aren't taken care of properly

We can't even heal the sick because the facility and medicines that are supposed to save lives cost 3 bricks thick of a golden dick

It's so scary how you can be denied and potentially die in one click—or live but slip quick in a lifetime of debt

And people think the stake of people's lives are a debate in politics. I hope you can see how blind that really is.

And the medicine we do have? Pills are thrown at us like candy. With a long list of potential side effects and we don't even think twice

Including making your symptoms worse or even worse, death

Meanwhile things like cannabis aren't seen as medical….even though it was once used everywhere even over the counter and has been documented to cure epilepsy in 1949—but in the modern age we are just now rediscovering this in amazement

But you think everyone who has a high is an addict and all addicts must die

When you haven't even tried to listen to their side

And some of these people started on perscription drugs that messed with their brain chemistry. It all began with a lifesaving surgery.

Other people just want relief; what else are you gonna do when asking for help is seen as weak (or is scarce) and suicide would mean everything would be permanently over.

Addicts are people who are suffering and need help, not punishment

But because of these people, those with disabilities who can't work or only work part-time and need help have to stay in poverty in order to get any benefits

If you have $2000 on your person (which is barely enough to survive rent and bills, let alone health care) your benefits go away

But if they need food stamps to help feed themselves, in some states they have to stop taking the medication that is helping them manage, or is saving their life.

Let me repeat that. They have to choose between feeding themselves, or stop the one thing that is keeping them alive.

We all need to wake up, and start being kind. Maybe with more guidance and opportunities for people without degrees, with more companies happy to rank their employees after X amount of years, instead of keeping them in the same place for 20 years despite good work ethic. Maybe then we wouldn't need so much support.

Improve the fucking system, reward good work and create more reachable opportunities, THEN try to complain about "but $2 is coming out of my paycheck to feed people who can't feed themselves!"

People just say this is the way it is, and that the world is just cold. Why do we accept such shitty conditions when everyone is miserable? The world may be cold, but the human race doesn’t have to be. We used to help eachother in tribes and now we're at each others throats with knives.

What the fuck is wrong with us.
