The Crying On the Wind.

The crying on the wind are the signs, moans, groans, tears of those who are suffering all over this earth. Ignored by the multitudes, discarded, abandoned, they lay at the mercy of the world, outcasts, the lepers of today. Yes and all the world and even the professed religious world moves steadily past them. Making excuse after excuse and fixing blame with one reason after another as to why the cause but showing little compassion or mercy. Sadly they who have for the most part march through life oblivious to the crying on the wind. Only a token gesture here and there while their real efforts are toward the suffering of the rich and those that have.

To place trust in the leadership, the wealthy and those that have of this world is to be as naive as the word implies. To trust the religious, whose meager attempts provide littlecomfort and solace but only in a very few who demonstrate what they profess in love highlights all the more the hypocrisy of a world covered in lust, covetousness and greed.

Hey, some may say this is condescending talk or be angered by it but that is not my motive. Yet the view from 50,000 feet, as those in business like to say, demonstrates what is stated is emphatically the truth. Now I would be remiss as I have always mentioned if I did not state that there are many who give of themselves for those who are crying on the wind. They even give their very lives. They give far more then I and many.

Yet the remainder of us I do not see as being bad, no I see us possibly as ignorant of reality, uninformed in some cases, apathetic to the plight of others, etc. That may be hard to understand but I base that on a profession of religious belief. Now certainly in my opinion the vast majority, although professing, could really care less. They are fixed on their world, their problems, their situations and no one else's. "As a good man once said, "This is a tough world and everyone breathes for themselves". I think that alone sums it up?

I have tried to raise an awareness only to find people, for the most part, are not interested in the realities of life. They would rather ignore them and as I have written to earlier they would really just like to move from pasture to pasture as long as they are grazing and full. They in fact are sometimes angered with these sort of topics and one wonders why?

So while we can write, talk, give an opinion, hope, the situation in our nation and our world will not get better for the majority. I did not say it wouldn't get better, I just said for the majority. History demonstrates that as does life today. Everywhere you look the truth before you. Yes, for some as little as next door in that foreclosed home. The elite, the wealthy, those who indoctrinate and manipulate present their position, guide the masses and sit back and then do their thing. It is fact as elaborated on by the most intellectual of the world, not I a simple manm they. I just offer what they said.

All one need do is take the time to sit back and look, discern, analyze and consider and see what is reality right before them. That is if they care to? No I am not trying to be rude but I have filled pages about mediocrity, facades, untruth, exploitation, the breaking of law, sin and it means nothing, nada, zero for many but anger. Religion, sadly in my opinion a business, leaders, where, greed abounds, and suffering a product of the times.

I really have no more to say other then perhaps if this struck you in your heart of hearts and you really are who you profess to be, then you may just have heard A crying on the wind?
