Excuse me, are you just sitting there?

Excuse me, are you just sitting there?
This world we live in is constantly against itself. Good fighting bad. People killing their own, not feeding their children, raping their women. Then there are people out there protecting the hurt and abandoned, people bringing food around the world. It’s a constant fight, a tug-of-war with the world in-between.
People killing others. Rape, war and pillaging throughout the world. Anger and murder wild among people my age. Drugs, drinking normalcy for the next generation. Heroes and role models teaching young children acting out, making a fool of yourself, doing drugs and drinking underage is what you should do. So often kids will follow someone for the sake of looking cool, rather than for justice, right and wrong.
Death and life are housed in the same place. Disease and new life abundant in every hospital. A baby born into this world we’ve created, a mass of new life into such a dead place.
You have UNICEF bringing food to Africa, getting food to the villages without any hope for tomorrow. Supplying clean water and bringing new life to areas of war. World vision is teaching Africans to enable their skills and help create new jobs. Sponsoring children til they can support themselves and are sponsoring others.
John Mayer writes about “Waiting on the World to Change”, but how can we sit around a wait? Wouldn’t you rather get out and do something…something for the greater good. How can a beauty queen say she wants “world peace” and do nothing to promote that peace?
I can't help but wish for the day when there will be peace. When there won't be people pitted against each other constantly... when we will no longer need the PeaceCorps, United Nations, World Vision, Feed the Children and UNICEF. Someday we can live in love.

17 "Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind... 19the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more. 20 "Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; he who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth; he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.... 22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of their hands.. 24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear. 25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together...
