I once wrote
Hurrah for the bullies Its seems they've all returned are "in residence" everywhere those deserving of the moniker of bullies filtering and passing on their versions of truth its keenly ironic that if these are their end times that if God showed up he might not be so pleased so many heavy-handed zealot types believe they're in charge these days running us into the ground we do not belong to them our lives and welfare are a sacred trust yet they would have us under thumbs and bolted down with their take on laws and rules taking away specially adapted cars so a disabled man is forced to use the cheaper wheelchair denying the homeless a place to sit or lie down in the middle of the day by strategically placing bars on the cement so there's not enough room for one to sit or lie greedy landlords raising rents because they need to have it all and don't give a toss about us having more expenses than just paying their high rents food stamps programs are snipped and cut there's desperation in long lines at pantries teeth fall apart in our mouths because the dentist is rarely if ever seen and health care isn't a right and clean air shouldn't be clean those who do the dirtiest jobs no one wants to do are exiled and shunted away separated from their loving families too God has His bespectacled eyes upon us He see everything He doesn't need to take notes don't let it be too late you were sorry you couldn't behave kindly to others for He casts the final vote in the next life you might be crushed by the indignities you inflicted Times New Roman Boys are Not Men Men are made of substance boys are made of petty selfishness cruelty begets eternal obscurity Thank YOU SILVER BIRCH for the story in Great Britain of the legless man whose specially adapted car was taken away from him so that he could use his cheaper wheelchair Note to the officious Bureaucrats for your exemplary example of unkindness. Yet, it seems, one doesn't have to look far to find other examples in their own fair town or city that compare to this. My suggested solution? Individual secret acts of spontaneous random human kindness. Try this idea every day when you can. improve the world for yourself and those you share the earth with...including the animals and flora.
