You Say you want a Revolution.... but you aren't willing to change your ways.

Did you know that:
1. 1 Billion people live off of one dollar a day in our world.

2. It would cost 12 billion dollars a year for every child on earth to go to school.

3. We spend 18 billion on makeup each year.

4. We also spend 40 billion on golf...

5. We waste 400 billion on cigarettes.

But we cant cough up 12 billion to educate our youth.
Think of the enormous difference we could make
by helping out these kids.
Educated them about sanitation and disease prevention.
Help teach them how to clean water and how to live.
But you go on and worry about buying new shit for your house
or tanning by the pool... fuck the kids that are dying out there.
I bet you didn't even know it was the NWSA.
National week of Student Action.
Did you do anything?

I'm not high and mighty,
and I too have fallen victim to the trap of conformity.
It is easier to forget and go on with our lives
than worry about the lives of others.
It is becoming harder for me to forget though.
I am reminded daily of the work that needs to be done.
I can't wait to get to help hands on.
1 year and counting.
