The Good Life Is Possible
I saw a boy in Town who was sixteen. He had no legs. He asked me why. I had no answer that would not make him curse me.
There is enough. There has always been enough. The earth gives food. The sun gives light. The work is there for those who will do it. And yet we make it hard. We make it hard on purpose.
You see it in the news. You see it in the price of food. You see it in the way a man looks at you in the grocery store when he cannot afford the milk. You see it in the way young men cannot perform in bed and have to take a copyright because something is in the food. Chemicals. Poisons. Things that make men weak. And they call it progress. This is not natural. This is not right.
The Leaders We Need
We need to elect leaders whose biggest goal is peace. Not war. Peace. A leader who says, "I will not send young men to die in a desert for oil or for pride." A leader who says, "I will build hospitals, not bombs." A leader who says, "I will make sure our children have food and clean water and a place to sleep."
That is not soft. That is not weak. That is strength. It takes more courage to build than to destroy. It takes more strength to feed ten thousand than to kill ten thousand.
The Simple Truth
Look at a man who grows his own food. He knows what he eats. He knows the soil. He knows the rain. He knows when the tomato is ripe because he watched it grow. His teeth are good. His bones are strong. He sleeps well.
Now look at a man who eats what comes in a box with a picture on it. The man does not know what is in the box. The man does not know where it came from. The man does not know who made it. His teeth hurt. His bones are weak. He does not sleep.
Good food creates good teeth and strong bones. This is not a secret. This is simple.
The House We Should Build
Every family should own a home. Every family should have land. On that land they should grow food. They should raise children who know how to work. Children who know how to plant. Children who know how to build. Children who know how to fix what is broken.
This is not a dream. This is what people did before we made it complicated. Before we made it hard. Before we let the men in suits decide what is good for us.
The Healthcare We Deserve
We need healthcare we the people control. Where a baby is born with care already there. Not care you buy. Care you have. Like air. Like water.
We are not going to screw ourselves. It is outrageous. It is a sin.
The Poison
Those who put poison in our food must be held accountable. All of them. The men who put chemicals in the milk. The men who put sugar in everything. The men who put something in the food that makes young men need the copyright. This is not a coincidence. This is money. This is profit. And it includes our pets. Dogs should live longer. We should live longer.
A dog is honest. A dog does not lie. A dog does not sell you poison. A dog loves you. If a dog cannot live long, what does that say about us?
The Job That Finds You
If you don't have a job, a job will find you. This is true. The work is there. The work is always there. But you have to be ready. You have to be willing. You have to help others when they need help. That is the thing. We need to help each other. We need to make things easier in the long run.
Is that not what we all want? A good life. A simple life. A life where you wake up and you are not afraid. Where you eat and you are not sick. Where you work and you are paid. Where you sleep and you are not worried.
We Are Afraid
We are afraid. Afraid of the news. Afraid of tomorrow. Afraid to speak. But fear is not a way to live. Fear is what they want. They want you afraid so you will not fight.
I have seen men die for nothing. I have seen men live for nothing. I have seen enough.
Yes, It Is Possible
Yes, it is possible. But we have to want it. We have to want it more than we want the lie. We have to want it more than we want the man in the suit who tells us what to think. We have to want it more than we want the war. We have to want it more than we want the poison.
Imagine a world where we all helped one another. Imagine a world where the only thing that mattered was whether the child was fed. Imagine a world where stress was not a thing we carried like a stone in our pocket. Imagine a world where peace was the goal and not the stress thing we talk about when we are drunk at a bar.
That world is possible. But we have to elect the men and women who will build it. We have to be the ones who say no to war. We have to be the ones who say yes to food. We have to be the ones who say enough is enough.
The good life is possible. The question is not whether it is possible. The question is: Are you brave enough to take it? Or will you sit and wait and let them tell you no?
May love and peace be with you always.
