Angry

I am angered. I am angered because this world thinks more about Amy Winehouse and her hairstyles, then about the 83 FRICKEN DEAD TEENAGERS IN NORWAY. I am angered because there are more news articles about how Amy Winehouse should have gone to rehab, but her daddy thinks she's fine, so she said no no no. then there are telling us about the tragic losses in Norway, in Africa. How, Somalia is suffering from a FAMINE. Or how Sudan, yeah, Sudan where thousands are being SLAUGHTERED daily because they are fighting for basic human rights.  I am angered because a drug addicted musician gets more press then children who are starving to death, because a drug addicted musician gets more attention then innocent people who are being Murdered by the thousands. Shame. Shame shame shame on our society. We claim to be leaders. We claim to be SOMEONE's hero. But where the hell are we? We are mourning the loss of a musician, who spent most of her last days being completely shot on drugs. Yes, sad. Yes, I get it. But not when there are fifty other things that should rank far more importantly are shoved to the back, because Amy Winehouse and her beehive hair have exited this world. I am ashamed to live in this society. Ashamed. We take the smallest things for granted, we take take take take take, and never ever barely give. We take that is NOT ours, and pass it over as "help". What is going to happen to us to make us see? What is it going to take to get us to see that it is not OK to pass things over as insignificant just because they are not happening right in front of us. Amy Winehouse lived a sad and tragic life, and she deserved the chance to choose things that would bring her life. But she didn't. There are people, right now, at this very moment, whose lives are being snuffed out, who have NEVER had the chance to choose life, and those are the people I choose to be sad for. What do YOU choose?????
