The Lost
We are the lost, we follow our dim lights into the dark, taking our instructions from others like us, little thought is in it. If we don't have it then someone is keeping it from us, success is a dirty word and all should be shared equally. We have become the lost.
If our masters do not provide for us we panic. We are uneducated in the ways of the world. We have no idea how to take care of ourselves and families. Basics that used to be taught in the schools have been replaced by the doctrine of slavery. It is not called for we know slavery is bad for some reason.
We are not taught how to manage our money, but given credit cards. We can not understand how anything is produced but given loans to buy things. Our schools no longer educate, an educated generation without basic skills to start their own business, but ready to become cogs into the established system. Limited innovation that is restricted more each passing year.
Each year our freedoms are defined anew for us as we forget what true freedom is. We are being turned into the sheep for our ruling class, uncaring, unthinking, forever fearful and we are thanking them for the scraps that they hand to us their slaves.
Each year we fight more for the oppressed, the down trodden, the abused. While each year we are not realizing that to generations past they would see us as those same. We are forgetting who we were and becoming who we are being taught to be. Slaves to a system that cares not for us, when we are too old, or can not advance quickly enough we are discarded. Many of us that do not know how to survive then fall the trap and find that it pays better to not work.
We become those that we rally against, those that use the system, that take from us without thinking, and riots if we wish them to do something else with their lives. But what are they to do? We tell them to go find work, what work? Get an education, with what money? We are a caste system, of a feudal state. Those of us that are educated understand what that means, but many of us are not educated, have never even seen a book. In a country of everything, people have cell phones but can not read beyond what they need. They watch tubs, facebooks, instagrams for what they are to think, what they are to believe. The are the serfs, and they are tilling the fields of discord and discontentment, giving those that lead the reasons to define more of our rights for us.
We have given away our self determination the one actual gift God gave us to a few other men. We think they know so much better how we should live because they are so high. It is a misconception, they are as fearful as we are and they have built their walls to protect themselves from us. You see it in how they act, how the pull power to themselves, walling us away from themselves and leaving us the scraps. We feel like we are gorging on feasts but we have nothing of substance. We have no power, because we have no wealth nor control. We delude ourselves into thinking we are safe in our homes, we do not thinking about what would happen tomorrow if we lost our jobs, what would happen in a predator entered our house, if the lights went out and did not come back on.
One day there will be another major something and life will change, people will again be forced to fend for themselves. But today, it will be more like the walking dead. People will starve, armed gangs will take what who and what they want, killing and destroying the rest as they do, the illusion of the Government will dissolve before everyone's eyes and most people will sit in their homes watching their battery power lights and phones slowly fade each hour, as they watch their families and loved ones slowly starve and then learn their neighbors have now become their enemies because they are seeing the same things.
Because no one knows how to survive beyond 3 days, those that have become victims of those that do not. People learn they do not truly know their neighbors. That even though we are the most advanced in our time it all is useless because it all requires everything to work and now how truly vulnerable we are. Farms have been conglomerated into behemoths that require massive tractors, fuel, and water to produce, while the little mom and pop farms are becoming extinct and are even now being made illegal by laws to protect those with monopolies. You can not grow crops on your own yards because it is unsightly, you can not collect your rain water because it isn't your water because you don't own the rights to use it. Churches are profit centers and no longer help the poor but themselves, hospitals are already full of people that can't pay their bills.
Yet everyone continues to work their 9-5, pay their bills, expecting that tomorrow will never come, but it will come, it is coming sooner than anyone may think. It may be your husband has a car crash today and can no longer work, your job decides that a younger person is cheaper than you, on of your kids contracts cancer, your house burns down, many many things. We are unprepared for any of it. We have insurance, but what does that do, we are dependant on our 401k, savings, etc but what assurances are there they will be there? Are you ready to live on 20% of what you made when/if you retire?
Well, whose fault is it that we are all this way? Who is to blame? There are a multitude to blame for our personal situations. A hint, look in your mirror and you will know the answer. God gave us free will and we choose to place that will into the hands of others with slick promises and presentations to allow us not to have to worry, to provide us security. But have they delivered on their promises? From my perspective I see that all they have done is tried to enslave me. We have shirked our responsibilities to ourselves and our families. We are now beginning to understand what we have lost. It is taking longer because we were never taught what we had, even our parents do not remember what they truly lost so how can we.
We we have the internet, there is actual history there to learn, that our government is now attempting to control it and maybe our states are starting to fight back should tell you something isn't right. Cryptocurrencies are being demonized but have more value than Gold by 1000% today. Banks are failing, but governments are taking our money to save them. We are in so much debt that we have no hope of ever paying it off. Money people of the world are saying that the Dollar is now dead, but we blindly hoard it like it will save us.
We are the Lost, but we do not have to be. We have the ability to learn and take control of our lives again. We can start by getting to know our neighbors and communities. Taking a chance to talk to our neighbors and see if they think like we do, go to facebook and see what they are thinking. Find like minded groups, become politically active and provide choices to those that are there. Vow to never vote for the same person twice. Become a voice, speak out, educate, learn, hold our leaders accountable, quit being divided. Unite!
