The Sparrow

August 17th, 2008

i worry for the state of the world if loneliness is left to fester in the hearts of people, if education continues to be inaccessible to some, if the first thing on people’s minds is to always be cynical of good intentions, if there are people who misuse good intentions, if psychopaths can freely roam the earth without a huge warning sign above their heads, if carbon emissions and cruelty are allowed to permeate the air, if bad air never gets cleared up, if the police are self-employed, if the first reaction to potental threat is to wage war first, and finally, if the wrongest people continue to hold power and recognition. with all this going on and perhaps a lot more that i blissfully remain ignorant of, i don’t imagine it impossible that the world will explode should a sparrow land on the tip of the planet. i worry when i wake up. i fret before i sleep. but at the end of the day, the burning question remains: what can one person do?
