Putting up with it

To the Journal editor:

We don’t hear whining coming from the babies who’ve died of starvation, or children who’ve died from a preventable disease or moans from those who’ve died of/from painful acute and chronic untreated ailments that were treated in a now shuttered hospital when health insurance offset the expense of medical care and medicine.

We are expected to accept an economy having no other plan than to financially and materially enrich those (1%) who strangely enough claim to be taking care of the rest of us while in fact we’ve been supporting them.

We are also expected to replace our learned and true origins with a fairy tale.

We don’t have “bunkers” or military houses in which to reside should all of our numbers be added to the scorned  homeless population that has yet to receive at the very least, empathy.

We have no armor to protect us from gun violence, or from pollution and toxins from industrial developments allowed/permitted to occupy our air, land and water space.

Few have had the needed consolation for mental grievances and many have died having lost the will to go on from mental grievances.

Yet, we keep on living with injustices we observe with a belief that justice is our right, worthwhile to promote and work for. And because of that, we don’t dwell on the above. We just know it everyday, giving us opportunities to rise above and bring all around us above because we are, We The People.

In closing here, I have a conflicting thought which is pity for someone who has been becoming increasingly sick while there has been mental and physical health care within his means to obtain and he has sought none. And utter disgust over all the harm caused by him and his behind-the-scenes orchestrated group.

It’s enough to give one a headache or apathy. Once one gets out of that moment, take a deep breath or take a walk to give respite to one’s overwhelmed soul. Diversify and include various sources of credible information expressing exactly, the what, when, who and why.

The work to bring the complexities of what in the world is going on is served to us daily in multiple sources (still)…
