The Real Tragedy
Social Reform by Chris Bunton
The real tragedy is that We the People of the United States, of all races and beliefs do not trust our media or our leaders.
Our media is divided, and divides us. None of them tell us the complete truth, or don’t tell us anything unless it has lies twisted in.
Our leaders of government, and every industry and institution, enrich themselves and betray us when they get the chance.
They feed us poison and fire us at the drop of a hat. They fill our heads with lies and worthless information that does nothing for us. They send us to die in senseless wars. They shoot us in the streets over nothing. They steal money from our checks and businesses then waste it or send it over seas, while we scrape to get by. Imagine what this country would be like if we had even a third of the money we send to other countries where the leaders horde it and refuse to help their people.
We cannot get anything done to solve the problems Americans face, and when we shout or rise up, or push to get change. Those leaders blow it up in our faces and refuse to listen. They refuse to take blame and make valuable changes.
Instead they make changes that keep us divided in hate, and making themselves richer.
