Yeah I am Aware (blah blah blah)

This goes out to all the propaganda bandits who over do it with the news. Not the people who actually take action. But...you know... the folks who do nothing but still think that making you AWARE about it is gonna fix it...

Yeah I am Aware (blah blah blah) by mooselethridge

Did ya know about the murder and raping going on right now?

Did ya know all the money you're making was never yours some how?

Did ya know every word that you said is on a government file?

DId ya know most things in your head don't ever make you smile?

There's 7 billion opinions about a million problems

How can you listen to them all and still have time to solve them?

All this anxiety is telling me it's over crowded

Yeah I'm aware that all you wanna do is talk about it...

And some how everything will change right now

Did ya know about 3rd world children suffering in war?

Did ya know yeah I know cuz you told me and I'm sure there's more

Did ya know that we can feed the hungry if we change the laws?

Did ya know that I'm broke as hell living in America?

There's 7 billion opinions about a million problems

How can you listen to them all and still have time to solve them?

All this anxiety is telling me it's over crowded

Yeah I'm aware that all you wanna do is talk about it...

And some how everything will change right now

As long as I'm aware some how

It's all just gonna change right now

To the people trying to "save the planet" with clip boards:

I might make a flier of this to hand back to these folks one day:

Dear hippy clip board holder,

I understand that you are devastated by the atrocities on planet earth. Me too. I understand that you want to make a difference. Me too. But understand that this is a feeling and context that we do not share simultaneously. While you are here collecting money for your cause, attempting to guilt trip people into donating funds, there are thousands, if not millions of folks out there right now making a difference. People will always donate money to a worthy cause. The problem with your tactic is that it is borderline entrapment. Get behind something that attracts peoples empathy, like art/music and dance. What I have always learned about life is that you have to give a little to get a little. So, when I am walking down the street and some pachoulie scented clip board holder shouts," Hey, don't you wanna save the planet?! " My inner voice says, " Hitler already tried that. It didn't work. You wanna save the planet? Go get a real job and buy some music. "

My outer voice says, " Yes, I am..."

Have a wonderful day.
