Quite often lately I find myself wondering what I’m doing with my life. I find it very, very hard to engage with anyone who doesn’t take things seriously.

And by things I mean everything that most don’t want to talk about; poverty, inequality, war etc.

Corruption in our courts who refuse to hold the banks and Wall Street accountable for fraud committed against homeowners.

Corruption in our President who promised change and simply continued the war mongering and drone killing of innocent human beings – including uncharged American citizens.

Greed run amok resulting in plutocrats running this oligarchy and no hope for my sons or their future children (if they choose to go that route).

More often than not I feel like I’m on a prison planet designed for purging darkness from the human soul.

As it stands today, the only way I will leave anything of monetary value for my sons is if I die while I’m working and have continued to pay my life insurance premiums (which today are almost $200 per paycheck). The premiums will go up substantially as I age and I’m aging quickly.

Retirement??? Please……. that’s a dream for another lifetime.

Happy Fall Equinox!
