If I stop and think
I Drown pretty quick
Sinking into endless
I receive and I give
Nothing but repeat
All to save the swaying ship
Now life from a life
Comes with a price
An illusion of numbers
That I'll never make enough
When will our enslavement end
To this system of money with trade
We're the true animals on this stage
When others are sent to put us in a cage

Everyone seems to be getting this message lately - maybe it's spreading! Enough greed..... need less... enjoy more! I'm with you (assuming I interpreted this correctly that is!)........
Absolutely my dear, I was trying my hardest not to get in to fact that they are now using my own children to put me more in debt.
It's a point where I feel I can never do enough.....
Maddening maddening............ putting you in debt...... and worse, they want to put THEM in debt even before they get started......... someone has to fight this ridiculous greed.
I'm been fighting this system of ridiculous hypocrites at 14 years old. From that moment of running away because nothing anyone did was what they truly felt, always saying this is the way it is and nothing will ever change, just keep your head down and get to the end.
In a way "they" are right, I will not change and will forever express my opinion of the way we live is upside down and inside out, and know in my heart we all don't want it this way.
If you can teach that to your kids, they will be free ....... maybe it will spread........ it happened before in the 60's......... it isn't sustainable as it is now........ as example all the kids on this site that are writing about "cutting" themselves........... they are crying out!
Yesterday while driving them home they saw me fall apart, let all the tears out. We had a big cuddle then a game of cards, changed the music and sang to change our/my energy.
I can only show them and everyone else all of me hoping we can all just learn to live in love and harmony not fear mixed with anxiety. At least find a balance that doesn't leave us wanting to end our lives prematurely
Yes it is a hard world for the young........ but you're taking the time with them so they won't feel lost in it..........
Dan,
I thought your writing
related to your children
in some way, but I did not know how. Now I understand...and I think it’s despicable! I’m so sorry for your situation! I wish we could help somehow!

It's something I guess I brought on my self with my path I chose to walk. Your reading of the words from my soul give more comfort the gold, this you probably know but I'm truly grateful and with that feeling I try to swim back up.
So to try to remind myself just doing what we do is always enough, thanks for the nudge 😉
More and more I see how the politicians we elected care more about themselves than they do of the people who voted them into office. Its just so insane. Excellent write Dan. Hope you find a positive solution.
I feel I've always known the solution when I tried to walk away from the system of our creation. We have designed it well that you get to a point of no return, I live for the moment that the day returns so my unwilling cog will be removed from the their game.
Thank you for being part of my inner peace, to know we all hold a light to learn from our ancestors that things need to change because this is insane.
Interesting that you mention our ancestors. I often wonder of how our ancestors would react to what is going on in these modern times. Something of turning over in their graves I imagine.
So many generations have passed, some what unfathomable and yet we still live in fear of one an other.
Yes, you'd think modern man would have learned from lessons of old and be smart enough to avoid the messes the world is in today.
I read your poem previous to this just now, and I'd like to start off with my best wishes to you and your child. This poem is a true expression of your self (I'm inferring you're referring to medical costs) and yes, this system, based on profit as the goal, breeds greed. It preys on the helpless, expecting all to simply wait and heed. Experiences like yours need to talked about, the endless exploitation this world is going through can only be ended with a combined effort of the people from the bottom. You will push through this, Dan, I know it. It's time to instate politicians led not by the highest "donator", but by the will of the people. This reaping of the less fortunate must be brought its end for the sake of everyone.
Thank you for your well wishes my friend he is alot better now.
You are spot on with all your statements, we can only hope to become the change I guess
