Society, Greed, and Death

I stood there, waiting, watching; but for what? The glee that once flowed freely throughout my being is no longer there. Looking around I only see people with gay faces and lovely treasures of silver and gold. Silver and gold; just one of things standing between the life of a commoner, and aristocrats. But who could hold such divine power that fills our souls with greed? It is not I, for I will humbly stand by those who find no worth in money, power, and all other objects of which fills the once peaceful and love worthy man.

Society does not only judge on looks, but also on who has the most to give onto them. Those who choose to do community service are not satisfying enough to please the aristocrats’ desires of social worth. Yet those who throw a single solitary wrapper that was thrown on the ground by one of their own, as long as that person is a man of wealthy born or gains, is appraised for a great doing of good. How often will one be condemned for their filth of poverty? A better question would be, when will it end?


People have multiple ways to exclude people from the rest. It could involve terrible things from instigating to even death itself. Though poverty helps these cases, not even that can be compared to death. Suicide is often a case where one would feel that they no longer need to live or to be alive. Society can do that to people. Then you must think of what many will say if one noble is to be taken by Lord Death himself. “Oh that poor man! He was great! He had much money to be given! Who will it go to now?” Then you think of the reactions of the death of a commoner who hardly has the money to feed his wife and children? I’d rather not say, for it could become spiteful and have a drastic amount of feelings pounded by myself.


There is no life worth giving if one doesn’t see the worth. And what worth is there if there is no life? Making wishes on stars and waiting will not get you the fundamentals needed for survival; nor will it ever. Do what you must to keep yourself and your loved ones going. Then maybe you will get your wish. Society will stay the same, and it will never change. But those who choose to stand strong and make a difference will be the change that needs to happen.
