What is the world coming to?

*play “Where is the Love?” by the Black Eyed Peas to set the tone*

If you don’t think that the world is ripping apart at the seams, then you are either blind or ignorant. Because it is. That’s a fact, and there is no citation that can back that up better than by simply turning on the news.

We have a television personality running for president. And not only that, but he is actually doing well. I cannot comprehend why that is. Are you all just joking around and voting for him because you think it’s funny? Because it’s not. You cannot sit here and tell me you seriously want Donald Trump and his mail-order bride to be world leaders. You just can’t. It isn’t possible that people in this day and age could possibly be supporting a racist, ignorant, popularity-seeing piece of garbage as our next president.

Yet, you are. We are. And this is another issue. We are showing support for this, this… this being for lack of a better description, and our children are seeing this. Our children are learning from this. American children are growing up thinking that it’s okay to discriminate, that violence is always the answer. I mean really people? These kids are tomorrow’s leaders. And if we can’t teach them to be kind, understanding, intelligent people (and voters), our country, let alone our world, is already well on its way down the drain.

There are wars going on all over the world. Terrorism is plaguing countries. ISIS is receiving all the publicity that they want. And another plane just disappeared off the face of the Earth. This is ridiculous. So much violence--and for what? Is anyone really happier? No. Is anyone any wealthier? Absolutely not. So I simply cannot fathom why this crap is still going on. It literally benefits nobody. @TheWorld, we need 2 change. We need peace.

Oh and I almost forgot--women are still not equal to men. And homophobia is still present. Are you kidding me, America? It is 2016. Grow up. Women are just as smart and capable as men and if you don’t believe me, look at one of our presidential candidates. And how about the fact that the U.S. Women’s soccer team members are world champions. And you still question a woman’s ability? Unbelievable. And how about this: mind your own business, dudes. Does it really affect you if your neighbor is a lesbian? Does it? No. So close your blinds and shut up.

Wow, I am sick of the world we live in. Open up your eyes to everything that is going on around you and make a change. We have the power, the knowledge, and the opportunity to save the world! It sounds cheesy, but it's true. And if you can’t make a change, at least don’t allow yourself to be a part of the demise of humanity. Because at this rate, we are seriously going downhill-fast.
