Let ‘em Eat Thoughts and Prayers!

By Frederick J. Blahnik

Those kids are starving to death over there…..

They don’t have decent clothes to speak of for daily wear…..

They don’t have a safe place to stay, and when they do they’re crowded together so tightly they may as well be sardines squished inside a tin can…..

They’re getting bombed nearly every day of the week while being chased around constantly like hogs in a slaughterhouse…..

They’re being forced to live a stunted life of misery on a planet rich in natural resources…..

So what should we do with them?

What’s the best advice you can offer on this controversial subject?

Easy…..

Let ‘em eat thoughts and prayers!

You smugly sit there with a flush savings account to nicely complement the half-million-dollar house you live in…..

Not a material care in the world; not one!

Your mortgage has long since been paid off, your pantry is packed to overflowing with food and staples, the clothes you wear are expensively stylish, your pathway to “Heaven” is assured…..

You seemingly don’t have a care in the world, and surely none that involve a dire shortage of money…..

And yet those disadvantaged kids aren’t similarly blessed through no fault of their own…..

So what should we do with them?

What’s the best advice you can offer on this controversial subject?

Easy…..

Those aggrieved kids aren’t your personal problem, are they?

Damn right!  They don’t live in my neighborhood, hence that makes them someone else’s problem…..

Why the fuck should I care about some emaciated, googly-eyed children starving to death on the other side of the world anyway?

They’re not any of my concern; their parents should never have conceived them if they couldn’t afford to raise ‘em—RIGHT?!

Got enough REAL problems to worry about nowadays right here in this failing country of ours…..

So what should we do with them?

What’s the best advice you can offer on this controversial subject?

Easy…..

Let ‘em eat thoughts and prayers!

That’s right, just let ‘em eat thoughts and prayers!
