Is the world apprehensive?
To accept the new order,
Where citizens do not stand back and take the corporate slaughter
that our parents were accepting,
They bought and bought and bought,
No questions asked,
Times were good,
So they could buy what they wanted,
borrow, borrow, borrow,
no consequences,
until now
our parents made this world materialistic,
truly not knowing what was to come,
They did not know that our economy is/was an onslaught of failure,
Or that it would become so,
Did they?
Is the world going to see this and open their eyes?
You educated us all!!
now we are told to close our eyes?
Shame on your corporate government!
Shame on your fake lobbyists!,
Your business allies.

The Idea of my Belief
I am deeply rooted in what I believe,
Just as you are rooted in yours,
I can back up my belief with stories and granduer,
Just as you can yours,
I can seize my beliefs and live in them and devote myself,
I can live my life based on its teachings,
I can sit in the pew of devotion and see without your direction,
I can see on my own,
I know what I know just as you do,
I believe what I know that much more.

I have been thinking again...oh no!
The last couple of years have been really eye opening for me. I have noticed so much that I almost wish I could just drop everything I have been working on for 6 years and move onto a different stage in my life. I feel incomplte not doing more. More with myself. I feel I have a greater purpose. I know I have a purpose as a mother and a sister and daughter granddaughter and all that but I am talking about the greater purpose that describes people's lives that did more and made the world notice things they never would have noticed before. I have been frustrated by the same issues Occupy Wall Street is frustrated with but now frustration has turned to anger and anger to rage, and rage to pure disobedience to every norm we are taught to follow. There has not been an uprising in this nation since who knows when. I even tried to just look it up and all I got on Google was results of Arab Spring and the protests in Libya, Egypt, Syria and so forth. Pretty interesting huh?? I put in when was the last uprising in US History and those are the results I got. Oh and slave uprising was another result.
This country has always been for the rich if you think about it. The working poor have been fighting against rules and laws that oppress them for hundreds of years but that is not even unique at all to the United States. Great Britian, now United Kingdom, France, everywhere, Europe, Africa, and Asia, all over the world. The United States ranks 24th out of 30 industrialized nations in our students academic skills. 37th ranking in our health care system, link below:

The very entity, which is education, that will ensure the progress of our nation in every way is the very entity that will be gripped by corporate greed. Instead of our schools being run by school districts, corporations will come in and make our schools run by businesses then in turn that will create more poverty because when a corporation runs an institution, nothing is free so they will start charging us for every little thing we need to ensure our child is educated. There is an issue in every single inner city school in this nation and that is the lack of commitment and lack of dealing with the issues outside of the school that will ensure that it stay in the condition that it is in. Lack of decent teachers, lack of funding, lack of parental involvement, lack of commitment from staff and administrators, the list goes on and on.
Every institution serves a purpose, and I believe the idea of these institutions in this nation were invented to serve one population and one population only. That is the wealthy, white-European, population. It has always been that way. There have been presidents whom came from a modest background and Senators who are completely dedicated to their job as a representative of their country and their community but corporate involvement economically and fundamentally in the government is the core of the problem in our modern day.

how are we going to cover this?
oh my gosh did you see the news,
How are they going to cover this?
Pointing fingers and playing games,
The corporate media is the best source of news right?
They are thinking now "How are we going to cover this?"
I tell you how,
They will demonize.
They will say we are crazy,
They will say we are just trying to get people worked up,
There is no true ruling class right?
They will become scared and say anything,
Fox News will definitely say that OWS is silly, it is a nonsensical entity that will die off soon,
Isn't it crazy what happens when people are allowed to learn?
Education has provided for this movement,
Education has created the minds that occupy this movement,
Everything else is silly now,
There is no going back,
Finally every nation will see we will not accept it either!
We will not sit back as we have for decades,
Is it too late to change?
People have beheaded kings, ousted governments throughout history,
The people have become the object for change,
Th commercials teach our children what to want,
The tv teaches our kids how they should act,
The news tells us what to think about society,
The media is thinking how are we going to cover this?
"Let's cover the people getting arrested so everyone can see how crazy these protesters are"
Instead of showing the livestream of coverage in Times Square or hearing the testimonies of thousands of people in the virtual march on wall street, they will show the hundreds of people getting arrested for expressing their human right to stand up against tyranny!!!!

why?
If one feels that the treasons of wall street are so great,
How can one not become enraged?
If their home has been taken and their livelihood shattered,
Their children's lives altered negatively,
How can one not become saddened by the state of affairs?
Right now there is an undefined movement,
Created doubt where the media has left a void,
People see the occupy wall street as a joke,
Conservatives reduce its meaning to a laughing matter and yet still thousands join the movement,
Why is it OK that home loans became an instrument for a certain few to get rich by way of deceit and predatory tactics?
It is not OK but what is to be done?
How can a few little people, strained by a new society different than that of their ancestors,
become the instrument for change?
I do not have the answer.
It is complex, deep, secluded from the movement because there is so much to bitch about that it is hard to find just one thing!
It is hard for me to reduce the Occupy Wall St as a joke that deserves conservative analysis, mindless detached analysis,
It is small now, scattered people, scattered ideas trying to find a conclusion,
Trying to find a meaning, maybe also trying to just find an answer,
Maybe it is the greed of the wealthiest citizens of this nation that take and take from the bucket,
and do not give,
They give corporate galas, fundraisers, parties, museum donations, charity auctions and charity fundraisers,
Yet the real problems require intense Action, such as the reform of the education system,
The reform of the government as a whole to separate it from the control of corporations,
Caution is not a factor, tolerance has been tolerated for too long.
