Just got done busting my ass working in my yard, came in and took the luxury of downing two diet A&Ws then I started to think, there are sad people in this world,people who use guns and fear, death and torture making people work ten times harder then I just did, 24hrs, 7days a week, just so people like us can have pretty dimonds on our fingures, yeh look at the bling around our necks,the beautiful shine and glimmer of someone elses pain. Picking bannans till their fingures bleed while the cartels beat them down if they stop,just so we can have chakita bannans on our oatmeal,they dont get to stop and down some A%W, they just want to make it home to their families. To all you who work just to live,my sweat may drip to the ground as a free man, but in respect to you I will always appreciate my freedom, and hope one day some one will stand up,raise their fist and give you the freedom you all desirve.
Much Love.
Mike Rohlfs.

    agreed

    i can't stand a very large portion of folks who share this country with me. truly though, are they even sharing? not really. bling bling & more bling... vomit

    big homes, big yachts & big money cars. these are the wealthy

    then we have the common everyday folks who still desire diamonds & more than they can afford & they do waste food by the dump truck load. they may not ever recycle. these folks make me wanna throttle someone

    do not even get me started on the fact that in the u.s. clotheslines are looked down upon these days. bunch of candy ass freaks if you ask me.

    Nothing quite like sheets that have been dried by Mother Nature. Reminds me of being at my Grandparent's farm as a child. That, and the smell of the breeze through the screen doors. Slammers we called them.
    Thanks for the reminder of simplicity. :)

    Aw hell yeah. I remember the lines through our backyard as a child (good god I loved that space with its mint and watercress and roses and cool grass), next to the sturdy, shady and plentiful plum tree come summertime, hanging towels and t-shirts and my mom's lingerie.

    Oh man, sitting at the roots of the tree come late afternoon, sucking down the red-meat plums, that scent of the laundry and fruit and air moving.

    Yes and yes!

    Very nice images and memories evoked. Thanks from here too :)

    This reminds me that I was in the supermarket here in China yesterday - it was really busy as there was a sale on - and standing in line I thought how much I really wanna get away and travel soon. I'm planning on leaving here early next year. Looking around the supermarket, all I could think was how we're plundering the planet, and that we really don't have a lot of time left before the whole thing goes down the toilet. This consumerist frenzy has nothing to do with the natural World we live in, and which sustains us. The human race has become a parasite on the Earth - a virus, as William S. Burroughs put it.

    Thank you for wise words, Mike Rohlfs, and all who have posted here. Wise words bring a breath of fresh air badly needed.

    So many of us are so fortunate to have such relative ease. Thank you for reminding.

    But Byrnzie...which is it, then?

    I think we're both beautiful, and parasitic...and just about every and any other adjective. Not all descriptions fit all, of course, but we each have so many of what's considered "good and bad".

    Such is life, nature, and for all its injustices and violence, it's countered with kindness and bounties, and generosity and selflessness. That has nothing to do with geography or good/bad fortune or being born into wealth or poverty.
