To Totally Destroy An Individual.

The destruction of a person, an entity and individual comes about from the destruction of their net worth in every aspect of their life, social, financially, spiritually, physically, their very being. It starts with the forced removal of all that they once knew, had, achieved or gained in life through their individual efforts. It even goes so far as to remove their good name, their honor, integrity their character. At the end it leaves but a hollow shallow shell of an individual, labeled and identified as worthless, irresponsible, incapable, dead beat and all the negatives that the world can conjure up and told so daily in call after call. Yes blamed for it all regardless of situation they are held up as examples of failure. No, it matters not the reasons or circumstances, all lumped into one general category, loser. No, it matters not how the person reached this point, but it is the world that insures complete destruction and they make sure it is completed once the process starts.

Now those who destroy certainly do not care for anything of honor, integrity, right, justice, no when it is about money there is no quarter, no real negotiation, help, and compromise. Their works the proof that goes before them. Their words hollow and empty lies, fabrications, distortions and they revel in greed, power and coveting the world. All is on their terms and no one else's. The greed merchants, politicians, business, religious and connivers of all walks of life, who come as light but bring evil. Their weapons diversified and as devastating as any of modern war to do the job. Their allies and benefactors of the same ilk. They kill not only the body, mind and spirit but they kill relationships, families, and friendships and yes nations, civilizations and societies. Yes while they offer you the token of prosperity, hope, recovery, good and you yearn for it to be real, it is not.

Yes and when completed they care not what they do with the remains only to plan as to what else they can wring from you. Yes even that they reprocess through their system to make money. The person themselves, well cast aside, recognized nor accepted by few to none, sometimes no place to live, limited to of no ability to come back, resume a normal life, re-establish themselves they are a part of the forgotten. They live in parks, under bridges, in the open, under the sky above, in dank and bug infested homes. It matters not rain or shine, winter or summer, heat or cold, society walks right past or over them. They travel sometimes from town to town seeking a change, a better life, new hope, and are recognized but ignored, outcasts among the multitudes, like lepers of old. Lost they only have themselves.

Now it is the same with families. Cast out onto the street only relatives may seem to care, perhaps a grandparent who will give of what they have for their children and grandchildren, perhaps a sibling, a friend, perhaps but not common.They re the lucky ones. Yes sadly, not many but some will while others are more concerned about what they can hoard until they die. Some fathers, destroyed by their demise abandon their families to wallow in self pity and self indulgence, sex, drugs, alcohol or whatever else that seems to take away the pain. They have tried only to be turned away time after time. Unfortunately, you don't qualify, you don't have the skills, you made too much last year. Well what about NOW?

How about a father or mother broken because they can't provide, unemployed, few skills, many rejections they take what jobs they can, work multiple jobs for few hours and no benefits. Not enough for the rent, utilities, food, gas for the car much less insurance, etc. They stand silent before the judge while they are told what they must do, can't do, give up. Young children left alone, with strangers or even in foster homes. Their possessions gone along with their honor the rest sold at garage sales or laying on the street somewhere. Fights, battles, arguments, always asking "what are we going to do now." Yes and always receiving advice from the fools who know not, who still believe because they still have. The "why don't you, or have you tried", really, hello, wake up!

So we have a nation now within a nation of them. Millions of them, the new Americans, the broken, the outcasts, the forgotten, the dead beats, the non credit worthy, irresponsible types. You remember them don't you, you old neighbor? Those who must learn to take less when they don't have much any longer to accumulate with. No jobs, no credit, no nothing they are the non credit worthy. Unqualified who have no help on the way. They are the new low income worker, the tax write off, the ready supply of "if you don't like it there is someone to take your place."

It is what it is and the truth is reality and that is where we are in America today. It is the dog eats dog society of today, the future. Yes learn to take less, way less and hope is on the way, not really but it sounds real good. Now many know this who have experienced it before or who are undergoing it. They will not read this unless they are at a library because they don't have the Internet and they won't read it in any paper or hear it on TV. It talks about a lifetime gone, hours and hours and hard work and savings and money and yes hopes. all gone, destroyed, crushed.

Now understand this because it is critical, material things do not make your self worth, give you honor, no degree, title, award, position gives you that nor does it character, integrity, value, importance, love, caring, compassion. No it is the simple things in life, children, loved ones, good friendships that are of real value. Don't look for that in any institution of man be it government, society or even church. Look for it in the hearts of people, for where their heart is so is their honor, works, and integrity to be found. Those who know as you do the pain, have felt it, under went the trials and came through.

Trust neither man nor their systems. Yes I know first hand the good, the bad and the ugly. I have and I am living it, so don't tell me what is fact, reality truth, it is there for all to grasp and understand. It is like I say and yes I for one continue the fight, the trials, through the tests but please understand it hurts and I write because there are many that hurt as well who no one gives a damn about. Obama, McCain, or any of them brought this down upon us FACT. You can love Him for being the first black president, or for whatever reason. You can be a staunch party remember but by their hand they and you who approve of it, allow it, condone has descended wait upon us and we took the bait, we believed, we accepted, we hoped. After all did we not feel first hand what the others had brought us? What we failed to recognize is that they are all one in the same. Yes we are part and parcel of it but they placed the nails in the coffins, they, reality before God with their laws, their agenda, what they condone and do. They have no remorse, no compassion, not even empathy, no they have labels. Yes which came right from their lips. Sorry you who love them, truth you too must deal with because you are by deed an accomplice
Then let us not forget we have the impact to society, the nation for those who are not impacted. What is that you ask? Well social services to handle to counseling, family issues, children, entitlements, unemployment, layoff's, cut backs and the resulting increases in crime, prison population, the courts and all the associated ramifications of not helping when help was critical rather then labeling, crushing, destroying,

So know this, that nation within this nation has grown considerably and is still growing. It is an open sore, a festering sore and angry sore, a disillusioned sore, and no amount of talk, rhetoric, promises will sooth it. The have killed many and recovery, well a long way off if ever. It doesn't impact you, well get this straight, it might one day and when it does come that hurt will be far worse because you may have much more to lose.
