If all the stories were true. If all the horror that had become real echo through to our bones they would shatter. They would shatter like glass.
The news swells with the flooding in New Orleans.
And I cannot help but to think about all those lives lost and those who are still losing.
It gives a new label to our own humanity and are own self and our lives as we sit in our nice homes and watch the destruction via the radio and the TV. Commercial labeled disaster.
In the end the political rhetoric the not taking charge. The unorganized mess all says even something more profound about us. About ourselves about our culture and how we are evolving.
We are but tenants to a world that can have so much wrath.
But how many more Katrinas will there be? Or rather how many other disasters can affect us like this in a lifetime?
Its the excuses that will kill us. It will be the denial and the apathy in the end.
The apathetic horror that permanents America is embarrassing.
So many people talk. But so much is not done.
And I'm speaking of what we call a government.
A government more obsesed with oil and money than freedom and democracy. A government that would take from the poor in the blink of an eye and lie. And lie with a smile, a handshake or a hug. A lie that kills each of us everyday. A lie that so few want to understand and so few do or do anything about it.
But in the end it stares at us all in the face.
The result. Looks at us everyday.
Gas is up. Unemplolyment rising fast. And now this horrible fate to the people in New Orleans.
And yet we move forward. We see the photos we see the video.
The governments only response states that its "horrible" and that "we will rebuild"
Comments that neither say anything that has any substance that anyone of any intelligence can categorize as a government that is leading.
Instead it's counterproductive and uses rhetoric and lies and false hope to try and tame the masses.
Well the people are not stupid.
The people in New Orleans know the bottom line.
It speaks volumes right there on the ground in front of us all.
