Everyday Tragedies

All the people who never achieve their life dreams. The single mothers working double time to give their kids shit they never had. The children of Iraq lost in the sand. Palestinian kids stuck in the ghetto. The people on their deathbeds who regret their lives. All the soldiers that never got to go back home. The Bangladeshi children who choose between food (a job) and education. The surviving half of a loving, happy old couple. Patients that received HIV from a blood transfusion. Victims of the Darfur Genocide. All the Africans chained to a sunken slave ship in the bottom of the Atlantic. Everyone killed by drunk drivers. Everyone stuck in the cycle of poverty. All the oppressed victims of the Imperialism that exists all over the world. All the people who didn't get up after falling down. The innocent who are struck down. Every refugee ever who had to leave everything behind. School children who are gunned down. People who work hard their whole life and are still poor. The babies born addicted to heroine. Women trapped in an abusive relationship. People who lose everything in "natural" disasters. The oppressed. The rich folks who realize how little all their money matters. American Indians walking on the Trail of Tears. The starving in Cambodia. The people who spend their lives in darkness. Parents who have to bury a child.
