What do you mean I don't deserve to have a safe place to live and food in my cupboards and fridge, without breaking the bank and having to pick and choose what's more important as if having a safe place to live or food in our stomachs isn't important enough. What do you mean I should have to struggle because you believe you deserve to hoard financial wealth and profit off those less fortunate than you. You being the "upper class", Upper class in quotation because nothing about your behavior or attitude or lack of empathy says "upper" in any way, shape, or form. You as in the ones who look at the poor like the scum on their polished, clean floors. You as in the ones who see what's happening and choose to look away and remain ignorant because saying "it doesn't affect me" is easier than actually doing something to change the quickening destruction of what should have been peaceful for all long before now. You as in the masses that remains blind to the way they are separating the vulnerable from everyone else and stripping them of everything they have left and then asking why they turned to addiction or suicide, even when you saw them struggle and chose not to lend a hand, even when they fell so deep into the dirty grasp of povertys greedy hands and tried and tried and tried over and over and over for help, even if it was only a little, pretending not to hear their cries or pleas, letting them get sucked deeper and deeper till you can no longer hear or see them. You as in the masses who HAVE the power to take down the broken system thats long over due for major change. If only you'd open your eyes, before its too late. Please, I beg you, for not only my sake, but also for your own. There shouldn't be million/billion/trillionaires in a world when so many can't even afford to eat once a day let alone afford a place to live. And don't even get me started on the dog and cat housing crisis, because what do you mean these animals that we have domesticated and bread don't deserve to have a loving home and not to be stripped away from their family's and all they know because their owners hit hard times because of the garbage state of the world?????? And then wonder why animal shelters are over flowing with rescues and why soo many pets are being abandoned and left to die. What the hell is wrong with you all? Why have we ended up in such backwards times? People losing what should be basic human rights because they don't fit your idea of worthy. Its sick.

We live in an economic dumpster fire. The heat wave making it feel like a literal hell, people suffering on every corner while the one percent do well, my body aches and trembles, I'm exhausted don't you see? This system wasn't built for people just like me. So much ignorance and greed, so much so that they don't feed, our children so they starve and live with grander needs. Everything continues to burn, like a wild fire gone out of control, and yet still nothings changing and the majority are taking the toll. The flames of this economic disaster causeing thick smoke thats suffocating both young and old. The cost of living is insane, breaking the bank just to keep a roof over our heads, while most of the landlord’s lay comfortably in their beds. Constant dismissal of disabilities makes me and others grieve, the life we were promised as children while never given a chance to succeed. My heart is aching more than ever, all I ask is for my basic needs, for them to be met without a struggle, then maybe, just maybe, I'll finally be able to breath.
