Previous Post:The Penal Colony
If you’re like me, you tend roll out of bed 15 minutes before you need to leave the house to get to work, meaning no time to make coffee and peruse the newspaper. It’s coffee on the go for this 9 to 5′er, which means if I’m not using my travel mug, I’m contributing to the sad reality of North Americans consuming 50 million trees per year from paper cup use.

Will the wealth before health tragedies never end!
What is wrong with our leaders?
Who do they work for?
Harvesting Humans
Inspired by Lost in the Sand
by Shanna Ahmad and Alan E. Longworth
Harvesting Humans makes many men billions.
They sell mass destruction to kill by the millions.
Why strive to excel at a brute’s killing game?
For lust, or for glory, or for gold, or for fame?
The world is afire. Many mothers mourn sons.
While men with the power lust for their guns.
Why to fight must we follow their glorified lead?
When did war become something that we really need?
Where are the heroes who want to save all the skins?
Let’s all get together! Make sure the best side wins!
Those that are in charge must be woken up now.
To look and see what’s right. We should all take a vow.
To quit all the lies, the corruption and the B.S.!
Help humans in Iraq, Thailand, Darfur and the U.S.
How many have investments in death causing rings?
Do they pray? Is their GOD okay with such things?
Harvesting Humans is surely a madman’s way.
So Stop it Right Now and let come what may!
