Generation Everlasting
By Evan Miester
Since the beginning of history, each generation of people have had to outweigh the last in order to survive. After the fall of Rome, chaos erupted, millions were slaughtered in the process, and people banned together to scrounge for what little bits of food, land, and whatever they could find in order to survive. The successors to the fall of Rome took advantage of this preaching everything, that could be of servos to them most of it still unbelievably very influential today. The church, feudalists, and nobles took control creating a very unequal system between the very elite and everyone else that has not been undermined yet except for brief periods during the Great Depression when everyone, for the first time in a long time, had to suffer together. The same thing is happening now as when the fall of Rome happened a thousand years ago. I am seeing more and more people now struggling, scrounging for what little they can find, that's been tossed to us from the top of the food chain just so we can have enough strength to hold ours and their world together. And as each day goes bye, more and more injustices are happening. Slowly people, find excuses to do these injustices. Why should corporations invest money here in the US of A when they can go down to some third-world nation where you don't have to worry about pollution controls, where someone that's starving is willing to work for some cheap-ass wage that the people here practically wipe their ass with? Theirs nothing in the US constitution that's says corporations can't do that. Why even bother changing it? Isn't saving money and cutting corners what made America so great? Right? And yet here people are in America, the most powerful nation in the world, starving, many of them from ours and the last generation of America, and doing what they can to survive, just because many people in higher places aren't will to share a fraction of the worthless bits of green paper that's suppose to represent the global supply of goods that we call money. Our generation doesn't have the full luxury of waiting around watching the money pile up like many generations before us. Many young people now are realizing this and actually doing something about it but so many more of us are sitting around with our thumbs up our ass wanting a change and yet doing nothing. We as a people can do something though, we can get ready to embrace the impact of when the world crashes and we have rebuild the shatters remains all over again.
