You Can’t Just Fly Away.

So why do you do it and why do you not think about it and why do you keep doing this in these times where the system takes everything from you and gives you virtually nothing in return but debt and a feeling of loss brought on by political wrong doings of the last one hundred years at least.

When no-one cares but the people who are fighting like you. Can you join forces and fight the system together. Easier said than done I hear you say, but if everyone said that nothing would ever get done. These days are the most evil we are seeing in our times and frankly I’m not surprised.

You have been strung along by laws that dictate your life and most around you. You keep the system acting this way because you are taking part whether you want to or not and if you don’t take part they come looking for you to take what is yours for their own. Face it you work and live to feed this system which is designed not for good but for pure evil that is acceptable by most.

You live and breathe for the system because you see no way out, no way to be able to ever get ahead and live in relative happiness and comfort while you pay for someone else to live a better life than you could even comprehend because it’s miles from where you are and you cannot even start to believe that you are being taken for a ride and being made fun of while others reap the rewards from your hard work and the somewhat naivety of you because the system has told you what to do and you never question authority.

Keeping you at bay and in the system is the core ideal for these system makers and they do well at keeping you quiet and not questioning anything because of your fear of losing or causing a ruckus which would create attention and you don’t want attention because then they could watch you even more and you don’t want them to watch so you keep quiet hoping they will leave you alone. You carry on working and giving them their piece of you which they have stolen and it’s not only a monetary thing but also a mental thing of compliance and fitting in and not going against the grain of what they tell you to do and how to be.

Don’t ever think for yourself or question anything because you are wrong about it. No-one is stealing from you, you pay and you think it’s all okay until later on something sparks within and you question that thing that has been niggling you all these years and only now as you become older and wiser you see the system for what it is, a dire corporate thief that you have willingly given to without knowing the true consequences of your forced duty to give to the system.

Take a moment and think of all that you have given and what you have been given in return and I’m am positively sure these things are so unbalanced that the see-saw stays up and your legs are dangling trying to find the ground that has been taken from underneath you and still you pay and pay whether it be your work or your refusal to acknowledge what is really going on.

You are scared to see the real picture and you probably don’t even know there is a bigger picture but there you stay and you are a star for them. You keep this thing well oiled and working, you keep this from being the wrong because as long as you feed into this system you are doing no wrong in your eyes only until you do wrong then do you see this is not right and they will continue taking from you until there is nothing left for them to take so they let you die and they find someone else to steal from and so it goes until we all stop feeding them.
