The Broken World

A poor man sits on a street corner, a soldier taking fire, a child being beat, countries fading away from wars and years of fighting. I love when a natural disaster happens, not because of the destruction, but what it does to humanity. Suddenly after Haiti’s earthquake people rally around each other to save their brothers and sisters in need. They shock us and a vivid reminder of how fragile life is strikes the heart of what it means to be human. In this country, thousands flock to the scene to bring aid, and supplies. I have to ask this question though, Haiti may be in ruins, but why aren’t we so caring for our fellow citizens? This country has a huge problem when 1 in 4 children are now fed by food stamps. The United States of America soon will no longer represent the land of the free, it will represent the land of poverty and bankruptcy unless we act as a generation to change the systems that are breaking this country from the inside out. Ponder that, investigate yourself and wonder, what is this world going to be like for my children? Is there anything I can do to make it more bearable? In pondering this I believe you will find where you stand in the mess of this country.
