so many things have happened all the past few days and its just been mind blowing i feel uncomfortable to have a major expose but i do feel that it is apt at this point in time to write my thioughts and feelings about the bigger isues in this world. dont mind the sepplling erorres.
what is a lack of money to buy a new dress? what is it if you fail your preliminary examinations? what is it if you fell ill before a huge paryty? what is it if your parents (or your significant other) is refusing to talk to you?
what is all these problems compared to the people who have nothing to eat and who are shivering in the harsh winter cold? what is it compared to the orphaned children whose parents have been killed? what is it compared to the children who would love to go play football but are not allowed to because the fields are infested with land mines? what is it compared to children who are being kidnapped, their limbs chopped off and purposefully infescted with HIV laden needles by warring gangs? WHAT IS YOUR PITIFUL PROBLEMS COMPARED TO AFRICA!!! AND SO MUCH OF THE UNDEVELOPED WORLD!!!
Ban is the new secretary general of the united nations. what does that mean? does this continue a generation of kofi annan's handicraft? i condemn him not. he made some good changes. but that does not let the fact that alot more needs to be done and alot more can be done. wake up and smell the coffee world!! your coffee comes frome countries where on average they earn in a year as much as you coffee maker costs!
Ban most probably gets paid a million or so dollars every year? its just a guess but i can ssure you it is alot of money. that is excluding the compensation he gets for travelling around the world and the money he gets as bonuses or whatever else reason that they can find to increase the salraies of these people. the high end people also where astoundingly nice suits that perhaps look like they are tailor made and innordiantelt expensive. to what do they owe this honour? their jobs demand them being presentable? though a 1000dollar suit smells a bit extreme.
why do i feel so or rather sound so angsty? perhaps...just perhaps, its because i tear up and once even cried when i read about and saw the atrocity in sierra leoneand things in africa. children kidnapped and yanked of the streets. children having their limbs chopped off. children having their skin sliced and sewn back with bags of drugs underneath. children stabbed with HIV infected needles. does this sound familiar? NO! and why should it? BUSH needs us to know that he wants to launch another missile that costs a million dollars at iraq! the damn inter continnental ballistic missiles cost a million dollars! did you know that!??! and what aid do these poor countries get. their debt is being wiped away slowly! yippee! the only people who actually give a shit abt the debt in those countries are the damn men sittin around in suits with security guears around their houses and large shiny cars. the poor people who are worrying about not having enough to buy food with or to but some medicine for their sick and dying parents. or that their child is bleeding to death on the street outside and there's a man standing there with a gun and there's nothing they can do about it! they don give two shits about what the debt in the country is!!!
the USA is the country with the largest national debt to the world, namely th UN the IMF and other developed countries willing to lend them money. and why is it that this seemingly properous country is rife with debt? why are they constantly incurring debt by blowing things up and nobody pressures them to pay up!!!!
screw it! i keep having more wuestions then answers. maybe i am the answer. my mom says that the world whould be chaotic if i was the secretary general. but in a few years i'll be ready. and i will change the world.
if you are crying for a wayward child. if you sigh because you have not enough in the bank? if you're frowning because your friend said somnething untrue about you, if you're unhappy with your results, remember this:
there's someone with a dead child
there's someone who hasnt eaten in days and is going to die
there's someone who's friend is no longer there
there's someone who is facing a gun.
think about it.
P.S. RUN OUT OF SALIVA
