Oh and I fed my car a big cat the other night, and forgot to remove the blood from my windshield.
Homelessness in America is an issue most people will not admit is a problem, they will shrug off these impoverished people and dismiss them as masters of their own fate and “hey, they put themselves in that shit.” is the most common utterance of our privledged flock of seagulls. My reply has always been a tad condescending and vilefully sarcastic, “Yeah, they totally just choose to live in a fucking hell-hole, they choose to be mentally unstable and starving, this is a common trend amongst those people” a few get me and shake their heads in compliance while the bigots grit their teeth in excitement. However it has always shocked me that those who remain silent on the issue yet still agree that the conditions are bad and getting worse do nothing, say nothing, and will never be any sort of catalyst, and the reason is simple, it is a scary thing to do.
My economics teacher in high school came out with a rather outlandish and frankly, excuse the language, fucking blindsighted statement. “There are no poor people in America…” There are no poor people in America? Sure you can pull down the graphs comparing us to Africa, and South America, but for the love of Jesus H. Christ! No poor people in America? Oh, yes our great country’s economic system is so flawless, so impecable that it lets those who have the will, and only the will to succeed truly succeed, those who have earned their shillings shall receive them ten-fold, there are no cats in America! Yeah, then why are there so many little mice lying next to gutters, sleeping in years old sleeping bags, stealing for food, trying to pull through the day just to have a bite for their children to eat. Why do so many little mice come up to me while I’m cruising the streets and beg for change, why do so many of them offer to clean my window at the gas station? Why is there a little skinny mouse dancing and talking to herself directly in front of me at this restaurant? There must be some cheese fucking them in the smallest of holes. That cheese is, the invisible hand. Yes economics is always the most subjective of sciences and I love the fact that those who use the hand to finger the mice always find it necessary to try and justify their little sexual violation. Not only does the hand penetrate through the older mice, but the offspring get screwed too, they get a double screwing!
So what are we to do? What can be done to make this horrible situation a tiny bit better. There are those who are helping and we should all aplaud their efforts, but I believe in order for anything of this nature to change we must enlighten the minds of those who can afford to throw away countless dollars on large trucks, little gadgets and gizmos, extra wiring for their gold platted dildos. If we are truly going to be the best country in the world, fuck that, if we are truly going to be human beings that respect and care about one another then let’s really get rid of all the cats and make sure that there truly are no poor people in America, or the world.
