If you live in America there's a 41% chance you'll get cancer.Heart disease will kill one out of three Americans.We take prescription drugs to deal with these problems,but medical care is the third leading cause of death behind cancer and heart disease.We're told everything can be solved by throwing money at scientists so they can discover a pill to make our problems go away.But the drug companies and cancer societies rely on our suffering to make a profit.We think we're running for a cure, but really we're running away from the cause.Our body is a product of what we consume and the food we eat is designed purely for profit.We fill ourselves with toxic chemicals.The bodies of animals infested with drugs and diseases. But we don't see this.The small group of corporations that own the media don't want us to.Surrounding us with a fantasy we're told is reality.It's funny to think humans once thought the earth was the center of the universe.But then again, now we see ourselves as the center of the planet.We point to our technology and say we're the smartest.But do computers, cars, and factories really illustrate how intelligent we are?Or do they show how lazy we've become.We put this “civilized” mask on. But when you strip that away what are we?How quickly we forget only within past hundred years did we allow women to vote; allow blacks to live as equals.We act as if we are all-knowing beings, yet there is much we fail to see.We walk down the street ignoring all the little things.The eyes who stare. The stories they share.Seeing everything as a background to 'me'.
