"Trying To Save The World"

I was asked by my sister one day,"Funny how you are like buying everyone clothes for there child,ms.trying to save the world"(sonething around those lines).

It's not that I am trying to save the world (well in a way I guess i am), its just that I know deep down inside,someone needs help. I just want to grant them a break. One article of clothes would give them one less thing to worry about. Nowadays, people have a million and ten things to think about. Alot of my friends,family,have children and I see that they worry alot about alot of things,so I guess Im superwoman cause I try to help others. Everyone always think "If I had more hands,more time in a day,another person to help me,then things would be alot better".

My plan or goal, is to have a clipboard and have people write what they need and I schedule what time to help them. This way I figure for once people would be happier. Lately,since this "recession" "depression" whatever,has occurred,people have been working more (which means less time spent with the kids rather its help with homework,mentoring,quality time,etc),and there has been less help available(meaning less caring,love spread,less helpful people helping people).

See, back in the day,when my parents were young (even when I was young,I'm now 25),neighnors would watch your children,people would visit(play cards,have bbq's,basement parties,etc)each other at their houses,but with all the crime,no one does that! Now,with technology(tv,video games,ipods,etc),no one thinks about the importance of socializing,or reading a book,magazine,newspaper.

My point is this: with all of this going on,how do we get our communities back? Our lives back where we have more time for living and making our world better? This is what I want to change. One issue at a time,starting with helping others,giving them a "helping hand". Eventually, helping the WORLD!"

Questioning What I See

Communities unheard of.
Children lost,abandoned&neglected.
Mothers fend alone.
Fathers lockedup,drugged up,or careless.
With Less&less shelters,leaves more&more people homeless .
I ask "Why this?"
Where's the loving,sharing&caring?
Why are parents working three jobs to put food on the table.
While some parents rather care for nephews&nieces.
Kids having kids,dieases being the "in" thing.
Does anyone see what I see?
Cant be safe at home,work,or school.
Kids bring guns,knifes,&weapons for protection.
We cant blame them,its not thier faults that they go to a home where parents and guardians fail to show them the direction to take in life.
Every other day natural disaters showing up on the news.
Young ones killing each other for no real reason.
See we refuse to use the resources that lies in our hearts&minds.
You sit here and ask y she up there to blame?
No Im not here to blame,just saying to you the world that we all should be shame.

Lately we look to the celebrities or government to answer and coverup what we already know.
Why look at the news on tv to see the drama of the world when the most depressing drama takes place at our homes?
Phones ringing of families wondering about constant plans of where to lay caskets.
This is drastic. People stay silent and wonder. Though some know exactly what happend last night,wanting to erase the memory that was traced. Instead of face the dark place.
But to be free,you need,to speak.
