You did this to us. You have made our lives a living hell, and you dont realise, or simply do not care. Why should you? You have your 40 hours a week, your retirement plan, your social security, your mortage. You have your life set up for you already, and you dont need to struggle anymore. What do we have? Loans. Multiple jobs trying to get through. For those of us who can get jobs, that is. You have lived most of your lives. Our lives are now uncertain and filled with fear because you have been unable to provide a solid foundation for us. Our economy is spiraling towards depression. Our world is slowly dying, and all at your hands. Then in a few decades when you die, you will leave your mess for us to pick up, and we will be the ones floundering in the ashes of all the opportunities you burned to the ground. You have taken an entire generation and thrown them into a metaphorical hell, the hell of trying to get through this life alive. Will I have a job to pay for this apartment? Will I find work when I move out? Will I have a home 5 years from now, or will I be out on the streets, struggling to save enough money to get a roof over my head? I dont know, and it is that unknowing that angers me so, that causes so many people to almost wish for death now, before it can come so much more slowly. We should never have to live in a world where we wonder where our next meal is coming from, but there have been times when Ive had to go hungry because I just didnt have any other choice. Sleep? Barely. Too much work to do... school, homework, and soon a job. You get to come home to your wives and children every day. After the trip I have planned in 2 weeks, I dont know when I will be able to see my love again, because I will need to be working every day Im not in school. Again, if I can even find work. There arent jobs for people like me. No one wants to hire someone who has a school schedule to work around. Your children, your own children, are going to have to deal with this train wreck of a country when you are gone. Is this really the best you could leave for them? Do you feel that if you made it, anyone can? Times are changing. The world isnt as safe as it used to be, for any of us, and in too many ways to count. The future is unstable, and you have made it so. I will try to survive in this barren place that you have created for me. I will try to pick up the pieces of the mess you are leaving behind. I may not succeed. I may die in the effort, and become just another number on the list of casualities of this flawed, broken reality that we must inhabit. You held my fate in your hands, and you let it fall, to be taken by the wind... I dont know where anymore.
You did this to us.
You did this to me.
We are angry with you.
I am angry with you.
Our blood
The blood of innocents.
Is on your hands now.
So sleep soundly in your warm homes.
We will not.
You.
Did.
This.
