wtf(aggressively happy)

The world is corrupt. People are corrupt. Our anger, hatred and prejudices all fall out of the same bucket of lies. America believes in righteous anger and justified war; “what war has my country gone to that has bettered anyone’s situation?” Granted, tyranny is wrong, but the concept of war gives undue power to self-gratifying pseudo-tyrants. I call them that because they themselves represent the flaccidity of the reality I live in, we all live in. the government is there for “the greater good” and our “protection” yet what good has the U.S. government done, what are they protecting me from, higher gas prices? I am at war, with my thoughts, my morals, my discontent for normality and complacency and silence and tyranny. I see tyrants all around me; at a Baptist college, at church, on the street,, at home, in the mirror: my greed controls me, my passion for pleasure has me by the throat. I am choked to the truth. Racism, money, possessions, governments, hate, war, financial security, murder, indifference, block out God. I drown, gasp for air, gasp for God. Why do I have to go into debt to follow Christ? If God provides the money am I on the right path, if he does not am I on the wrong one? Trivial !Money? Does God even care about something as trivial as money? I am not going to pretend to know. I am not going to lower myself to the ignorance of my own government.

I'm selfish, I'm cruel and I will be the first in line to buy the latest $50 t-shirt made in some sweatshop in Cambodia just to impress a cute, mindless, superficial, pink finger nailed girl. Why don’t we stop and ask ourselves, “Why do I keep taking this absolute bull shit that “that’s just life” instead of trying to change something? Why does reality have to be dictated by a world of hate that's completly absent of God?” Why is it, that people are constantly saying “I used to think I could change the world, but now…” And even at this very moment, some of you reading this are too worried that a Bible student said shit than about “my agenda”. God believes that His creation is capable of changing this world. He says it to you everyday it’s just so muffled inside those leather bound covers that you can’t hear it.

I will tell you why we give up, we are lazy. What I am saying right now is that I am off my lazy ass and am ready to do something. This world doesn’t need anymore starbucks or Macy’s, it doesn't need any more "objects of morality", it needs people who love God and are loving people just because they do!
