Compañeros y Compañeras

Listen up my friends. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be part of the events you see on the news, the stories you hear on the streets, the lives you read in the paper or on the internet? What if for a moment you could put yourself into that “other persons” shoes. What if you had been in Sri Lanka during the Tsunami, what if it was your father trapped in the Utah mine collapse or the Chinese mine collapse, what if it was your daughter that died in the latest bombing in Iraq, what if it was your family starving to death in Darfur? Think about all the people you hear that suffer, that die. All the family and friends that are left behind. The empty space that once was once filled by the love of someone’s life. What if for a moment you could see what they saw, feel what they felt, think what they thought. Would you be changed? What do you imagine would happen in your heart? Would you regret it? Would you be thankful? Would you look at it like a punishment or a blessing? Would you do something different?



This my friends is a plea to you all. A plea for your open ears and open hearts. We are living in a time of war. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. There is physical violence being waged on innocent people all over the world. There are mental raids taking place on your psychology. There is a drowning of your spiritual awareness each and every day. If you can’t picture what I’m saying it’s because they have stolen your imagination. The imagination you once had as a child has been replaced by visual and verbal facts of your reality. A reality you never would have imagined or wanted. We all understand that time is precious, but what in the past few years has any of us accomplished that will outweigh the horror we have ignored? Did I even think when I paid the $25 cover to enter the club that I could have supplied the basic health needs of more than 100 children for 3 months? While we party and enjoy our lives we die. Spiritually, mentally, and physically. How long will you keep ignoring the lies YOU KNOW exist.



We are falsely blessed my friends. Time is of the essence and they are hiding it from us. They haven’t told you how likely it is that by 2030 global warming will be irreversible. That haven’t told you how water may be the oil of the future and that lower end of the estimates put 2/3 of the worlds population in water distress by 2025. They haven’t explained that we are in debt for the rest of our lives to the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), both private organizations making profit for undisclosed individuals for personal gains. They have yet to admit that we are failing our earth, our God, our ancestors, our children, and ourselves. Are you wondering who are “they”? Just know that they exist and that answer will surface. Ignore that they exist and it will be ignored that you exist.
