In Times Like These

Why do we avoid people on the street? Not sweet! Why does a wheelchair cost more than a car? Too far! Why do we keep birds that can fly in a cage? Rage! Why do we unbalance nature for money? Not funny! Why is our water unsafe to drink? Think! Why do we throw food in the bin? Sin! Why do we pay less for women to work? Jerk! Why are so many children not learning? Concerning! Why do we pay to focus on dying? Conspiring! Why are our role models acting like fools? No rules! Why? Deny!

Hello Sarah Hassarati, why does a wheel chair cost more than tan a car? Good question: I have a girlfriend in a wheelchair and she pays big bucks for a new one when needed. I think that is so wrong. Enjoyyur day my friend.
