"You get what you deserve", it's an old saying. One that has survived the years because it is true.... for the most part. But not for everyone. Some get more than they deserve, because they believe that they are not like everyone else... That the rules, the ones that people like you and me, the people that work and struggle to live our lives, just live... Don't apply to them. That they can do anything and live happily ever after, while the rest of us suffer. They do this from the shadows, shadows that we cast with our indifference, with a pervasive lack of interest in anything that doesn't directly affect us. We, in the here and now....
Or maybe, it's the shadow of weariness, of how tired we are, struggling to crawl our way back to a middle class that no longer exists, because those who take more than they deserve... and they keep taking until all that is left for the rest of us is a memory of how it used to be... Before the corporations and the bottom line decided we didn't matter anymore.
But we do... You & I. The people of this world.... We Still Matter...
The most powerful and compelling monologue that I have heard. The words resonate, they define the world we live in aptly. We live in a world powered by greed and driven by ambition. Humanity does not matter, neither does human life... all that matters is the pursuit of money and power. The continuous taking without regard to the consequences or the fellow man..... Shadows are seated by light, when you shine the light in the deepest corner of the darkness, the shadows have no place to hide.
Be the light...
