When Does It End

When Does It End When is it ok for a person to make a child and not take care of them? When is it ok for a person to be happy when a part of them is struggling? When is it ok for a person to move on when another person need them? When is there a time where the good thrive and the bad be punished? Years of getting away with stepping on the humble and the "unpretentious" to get what they want. When does it end? When are the games only played on a system and not administered to the realities of life? When does it end? When will the poor become financially stable and the rich are reprimanded for being selfish and greedy? When does it end? When will the schools become more sufficient and the prisons began to dissipate? When does it end? When will the children stop suffering from the ignorance of the parents that bare them? When does it end? When will the hood stop being content with being the hood and march their way back up Capitol Hill? When does it end? Fredrick Douglas once said that "if there is no struggle, there is no progress". Well when will the struggle start becoming progress? When does it end? When will we stop selling our souls for drugs and start letting the new drug be the motivation for success? When does it end? Look at yourself in the mirror and change; it can be that simple if you let it. When does it end to let the bewilderment in society control the lives of the hungry? When will the wicked be responsible for their does and the noble be rewarded for their patience of being by passed and over looked? When does the lying, back stabbing, fear and illiteracy end? When will the anger, mockery, and ridicule end? When will the shame, indecency, and corrupt end? When does it all just end?
