Misguided

What a day to be alive when everything and nothing has yet again come crashing down on the nation like a whip that is controlled by the forces in power because they did not get their way so they whip and whip and whip leaving gashes on the backs of thousands of innocent people who want nothing more than to just be left alone to their own devices at any given moment of time as it is their right and if the forces that be stand in their way at every turn and every corner then what are they to do but soldier on into the future because they still have to leave their homes with some semblance of normalcy for the progeny for their children for those who will be left behind even amidst this horrible state of things and then there are those who go from one leg of their lives to another without a thought to their surroundings and it must be nice to live in that kind of bubble with that kind of privilege and since they have no relation to those who are directly targeted who are the poor and pitiful blokes and women and children on the streets who are silly enough to believe that things might change for the better because what else can they do but soldier on into the future and the people with blinders on continue to celebrate a birthday a wedding a bachelorette and a baby shower because they remain untouched and does it sit well with them if their brothers and sisters are subjected to violence on a daily basis or is the nation really just built on hypocrisy and we have the wrong perception of what we as humans are truly capable of since some are stupid and believe in the goodness and kindness and compassion of others but they do not know that such constructs are more fiction than fiction itself and sometimes there is no light at the end of the tunnel and this belief that is so blind faithful pitiful and morbid remains undeterred and people continue to soldier on into the future. Now, and forever.
