People..

So I was in the store today, buying things that i didn't necessarily need, or want. I was listening to music but wasn't really listening to it. I walked around with my mom. As she bought the things we didn't need I watched people. I looked at there faces and started to think. Why are all these people look as if they are in a daze? They look at things, there brows cave as they try to concentrate on what is before them. Should I buy this there eyes seem to say. Or as they walk down the isles as if they never ended. Not paying attention to the people around them. Sometimes running into them. Sometimes waking up from there daze with a jolt looking around,then keep walking. Its like there robots. No emotion or any signs of life. Maybe half of them had a fight with there significant other and shouted "I can take this anymore I'm going for a drive" and they ended up in these isles. Or maybe they had a bad day at work and didn't want to go home to an empty house. Maybe...maybe not. Maybe its just the world we live in. A recession. A pandemic. And a nervous feeling that never seems to go away. Maybe we are just lifeless beings now. Who walk as if they are walking through the tunnel of life. Have you ever noticed that.. the isles in the stores are like the tunnel through life. They have food,water, clothing, knowledge, and people in them. Everything you need on that path you take to your death. Maybe that's why everyone looks the way they do at the grocery store. Maybe...maybe not.




As i was in this store. I bought a poster with a peace sign on it. This peace sign was made up of the word "peace" in many different languages. Including braille, Chinese, sign language, french etc. So i started thinking. If all these countries know what the word "Peace" means. Then why are we always at war? Why are people dieing everyday? Why are planes crashing into towers? Why are flags burning round the world? Because...its our instinct. We are animals in this world. Were very smart in a way. But were still animals. We fight, its what we do. We fight over land. Just like animals. We fight over so many things animals do. Yet. There not killing our planet slowly. There economy isn't crumbling. And there not flying planes into buildings. Would it be so bad if we all stepped back and not care about all this. If we took away the building, The cars, and the planes. If we made the world small again and lived like we used to. Live off the land. Do we need expensive clothes, cars, houses, and gas for our cars? Did we really evolve from the cavemen? Or did we just make more stuff. Wash our hair and shave. Maybe we just made something out of the wheel. We made the care. And maybe we found how to make a boat. And we realized people were different then us. Maybe we thought people who are different then us are not as good as us. Maybe we found out that rock to someones skull would solve that problem. Maybe we found how to kill. Maybe we found how to kill. Maybe...just maybe. If if someone didn't find out that sticks and stones may break someones bones..then i wouldn't be speaking these words.


Sorry that bounced are alot!
