99 Problems & the Rich GOT One!

I stood among the powerless who were enraged and therefore became forcefully engaged. 

No we are not out to overthrow a dictator. No our system is not in utter chaos. And no we won't change the way America has been functioning over night. BUT we have awaken a giant of discontent, reminded the minority who have dictating the lives of the majority that we are ANGRY about how things are being done in OUR country. 

Sure letters and phone calls to our leaders would have been the more civil way to go about it, but that was back when it actually worked. It was way back when the stash of dollars from lobbyist had less sway of the words of the population they were representing: their constituents. Now that corporations are people (can use share holders dollar to put in their vote...or our dollar), our voice is becoming a soft whisper. 

The American dream has sadly demolished. It is now only affordable to those who can pay to bid for it and for those who are lucky enough to find the right connection to it.  

The middle class is burdened, as the lower class grows and the impoverished slowly are disappearing. That is a first world for you people; where we are too busy dropping drones, wrongly distributing aide, funding wasteful projects in America and still have time to write on the drawing board how other nations should run their country. 

We got PROBLEMS. DOMESTIC PROBLEMS that are affecting students, nurses, teachers, laborers....hell YOU. Occupy US of A is a movement that will not die easily, but should it, it will have left a stark reminder of what will happen if things in this country continue to run the way they are.

The Middle East was shook by the Arab Spring, Europe tides turned with a European Summer and the time now is for the American Autumn. 

The Middle East did awaken a giant, reminding the world of the undeniable power of the people. Globalization is no longer making the world smaller it is connecting ideas, allowing a synergy to flourish. The status quo is no longer viable, it is time to OCCUPY the FUTURE.
