As I walk up and down Hawthorne talking to people about education, and
being said no to time and time again, I have realized that the baby
boomers and the people of my generation are okay wife along with
uneducated people the rest of their lives. They are okay with whining
about how poor the education system is here and giving opinions on how
we should change it. But when I mention the changes we could make to
help the next generation be literate in more ways than one they smile
and look at me with such a blank stare.
Is everyone in this town so self obsessed that they can't for a moment
think of the implications that not having educated people in this town
would be?
But of course these self absorbed yuppies and hipsters must get to their
hair appointments or their jobs at the local thrift store and boutique.
Or even the coffee shop where they work part time Nd the rest of the
time spent reading books about the world and whining about the problems
than taking any action.
Is this what our people have become?

The way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but with
Self-involved yuppies
Hippies that speak but never do
And too cool for school hipsters.
I truly believe this is how the world will end. There will be no aliens, no sky net, no natural cataclysmic event. It will be the people that don't care about anything except themselves. It will end by the people that speak up but never take any action. It's a cowards way out.
Day in and day out these three types walk by and just stare or pretend not to hear me. I may be giving them the most important piece of information ever told and they would not look my way. I don't expect the
To take the board or sign. I just expect those who have the ability to listen should listen.
I weep for the future of our country. I watch people day by day walk past me without even a glint of notice. I know they feel my presence but they just walk on by. I speak just a few words of need from the community to help others and to sustain our environment. But they just keep walking. Some do look at me and stare at me with nothing in there eyes.
