I Woke Up To 16,000 Hungry Children

This morning I woke up to 16,000 hungry children, as I poured myself a bowl of cereal. I almost tripped over the 25,000 dead bodies in my kitchen, because they starved or something. When I finally made it through that mess, I walked outside to 200 million homeless people. I made it through the crowds of crying children, and finally got to my car. As I got on the freeway, there was traffic. I looked to see what for. Turned out 42 people died from drunk driving today. I was never going to make it to work on time. I turned on the radio to cheer me up, but all the 340 million people suffering from depression really didn't help the mood. So I thought I should just text my coworker that I'd be late. To add to the annoying traffic, 700 people more died from texting while driving, but I handled it just fine. As I finally pulled into the parking lot, I saw my husband flirting with my boss, while they had dinner with one million divorced couples. I thought my day couldn't get any worse, until I went to go get a drink of water. I went to the water fountain, and there was a line of 400 million people. I walked to the front to find a "out of order" sign, which meant no water for them. Suckers, I just pulled out a bottle of Fiji and drank. My day didn't get any better. The only thing on my mind was how I was going to get back at my husband. I went home, found the hungry children dead in my kitchen, walked over them and grabbed some leftovers. The perfect way, to end a horrible day. I seriously have the worst life in the world. And tomorrow, it'll only get worse.  

 

Now, if you think that was messed up, if you think it doesn't make any sense, if you say "how are people letting that happen?" Newsflash, you're the one letting it happen. This is just an illustration I made to show how junked up the world works. We can't save them all alone. We need to combine hands. Feed all those mouths. After all, there are double the amount of hands that there are mouths in the world. Imagine if we all linked hands, we could fix this world, one child, on heart, one soul at a time. In America, we are tremendously blessed, and we don't even realize it. The most we complain about is working "hard," drama, and our social lives. And while we're too busy arguing who should of won the Biggest Loser, millions are dying from lack or food, shelter and water. You could say that's horrible, feel bad, frown, donate a couple bucks. But in an hour, you'll have read this, and moved on to the next thing. Your mind will shift gears instantly. As humans we're naturally selfish, greedy, pathetic beings, that dominate the world, fighting for power and wealth. We also have the ability, creativity, strength and sources to change the entire world. Wake up America, the world is dying, and you're too busy seeing which celebrity hooked up with Taylor Lautner this week. We can do this. It only takes one light, to make a whole room brighter.
