To follow on from noweasels diary I Cry
I cry when I see tops of mountains torn off and dumped into the valleys for greater profit margins.
I cry when I see black oil flood into the rivers and over the land.
I cry when aquifers are ruined and polluted for short term energy and profit
I cry when whole areas are turned into lunar landscapes by greed.
I cry when the consequences of destruction are denied.
I rage when a victim is blamed.
I rage when equality is denied
I cry when children scrabble around in the mud to feed our need for stuff.
I cry when people die because health and safety is ignored to produce cheaper goods.
I rage when workers are kept as virtual slaves to keep the prices down.
I rage when even after working all the hours god gave that the money earned is not enough to live on.
I cry tears of hot rage when evil people try to justify the carnage caused by weapons designed to kill.
I rage at the peddlers of fear and loathing.
I rage when the snake oil salesmen of war deny the consequences of their actions.
I rage when those brave enough to help fight a disease are treated as pariahs.
I rage at the promoters of lies and cry over the consequences of their mendacity.
I rage when elections are bought and sold.
This is why I will never vote for a Republican as they are part of the problem.
This is why I will try and hold Democrats feet to the fire as they are possibly capable of changing.
This is why I am a socialist and an independent because I'm tired of all the lies.
I'm tired of the hot tears of sadness and rage.
Vote, never be silenced and never stop holding them accountable.
