anxiety and thinking

some "latino" man set a bum on fire the other day in la. what amazes me is the reason the dude was homeless in the first place and how long he let it keep him down. it wasnt that he didnt want to work or couldnt work it was becuase the chick he love walked out of his life and he lived on the streets for somethin like 15 years. they said he wasnt the kind of bum to sit on the corner and ask for change he just sat there makin the best outta nothin, the thing that makes it more amazin is that this dude came from a pretty well off family...life amazes me some times i saw this on tv the other day and its the only thing i saw that day that just stuck wit me... the other thing that amazes me is tha shit that people put others thru just to feel like part of something bigger than them and something that there really not just another little punk rollin the streets that wanted to join a gang and feel like somethin more than himself just so that 20 years later he can look at his kids and his girl thru that glass at the jail and cry himself to sleep wonderin if his kids made the exact same mistakes as he did....its not the war on gangs us americans need to be worryin about its tha war ..ism and the war on ignorance that we need to concern ourselfs with
