Goverment Shutdown/ Avonte Oquendo

The government is shut down. While the bar on the corner of K street is still open for business. Yet, the man who makes his living off of this bar has little to no business because most of his clientele consist of government employees. The government workers will still be paid. The FDA has to cease most of their food safety operations. So I ask, how healthy and organic is the food we buy at Whole Foods in actuality? During the shutdown, the Department of Agriculture will stop supporting the Women, Infants and Children  (WIC) program, which helps pregnant women and new moms buy healthy food and provides nutritional information and health care referrals to those who need it. The program aids some 9 million Americans. As long as the government is shut down, the National Institutes of Health says it will turn away roughly 200 patients each week from its clinical research center, including children with cancer. Kids with Cancer will be turned away from treatment. There are some 1,600 Head Start programs around the country providing education, health, nutrition and other services to roughly 1 million low-income children and their families. Those will slowly begin closing during this shutdown. Avonte Oquendo an autistic 14year old boy is missing from Queens, New York. The government is shut down so an Amber Alert wont be issued for him.

This is the type of country we live in. The people in "power" are responsible for this disturbance all over the country. Yet we sit back and wait for something to happen. It disgust me that this type of shit can happen because some political bastards can't come to an agreement. Barack Obama is aware of everything I mentioned above, yet he's "sticking to his guns". The people in "power" are willing to sacrifice the health and well-being of Americans because they are so greedy, malicious and money hungry. Meanwhile the richer gets richer and the poorer gets poorer. I think it's more to it. This is bigger than "Obamacare".

Any and all economically disadvantaged people need to look to form an alliance against these corrupt malicious people in power. Until we stop tolerating this type of bullshit it will continue. The vision of life consist of Love, Happiness and Equality. This has never had any type of significance to any politician.  So I ask how much more will we have to put up with before it's our own son missing, Our own daughter being neglected for cancer treatment, or our own father suffering financially because his business is dying... People we are ONE. It's about time we start acting like we are before the assholes in power strip us of all things humane forever. 

 

MISSING CHILD

As a child growing up, I remember when Princess Diana died. My mother and grandmother stared at the television screen in disbelief for hours. Much like they did on September, 11th 2001. There reactions were very similar to the deaths of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and much before my time Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy.  All of these events in history directly effected people all over the world because we all feel . Rather we knew the people that died on 9-11 personally or just grew up with certain individuals like Michael and Whitney, their absence from this world was instantly felt.  We're all the exact same creatures with the exact same emotions. We feel sadness and happiness the same way someone of a different nationality, race, sex, and religion feel . We all came into this world the same way someone of a different ethnic background did. We all deal with setbacks as well as comebacks the same way someone of a different social class does. We all share t...

Plenty Of Reasons To Be Happy.

It goes without saying that this has probably been one of the best years of my life . I never like to toot my own horn because I know that the progress I've made in 2013 is just a small amount compared to the progress I have yet to make. However with the year coming to an end I've found myself randomly smiling while thinking about the amazing thing's I've accomplished this year alone compared to previous years. My progress this year alone shows obvious maturity and growth and the value of being lost in the wrong direction to being found in the right direction . I've had more ups than downs by the grace of God and been awakened by more universal truths than programmed falsehoods. Life has become a lot more simple compared to the complex understanding of it that I've had in the past. I learned the true meaning of the word LOVE , something I never really grasped the understanding of in previous years. I became extremely knowledgeable of the devils presence i...

Long Bus Ride Home

The world is controlled by two forces. The highest of the two being a positive energy of GOD, Compassion, and LOVE. The other being the complete opposite; utterly evil, destructive and hateful, better known as The Devil. I grew up being extremely familiar with the opposing side due to my elementary school fame... I can remember countless times where I was the cause of someone crying at recess because I excluded them from whatever girl group, club or gang my friends and I had formed at lunch earlier that day. The Spice Girls were usually who we strolled around Recess pretending to be. But looking back I realize we were more like Destiny's Child due to the fact the revolving door was always open. I was Beyonce though, so I did the kicking out and the replacing. Always. I was one of three black girls in my entire school so I was different and people admired that. Innocent souls admire the significant things in life. Unfortunately back then I let the hype go to my head and an EGO ...
