There's things that you know that may help save our world in the near future, or could have prevented from even coming close to approaching. Were you there when my Uncle was stabbed in an alley behind a bar after a meaningless fist fight in 2006? Were you the doctor working on the kid who's leg had to be amputated but the family didn't have enough money to pay for the operation in 2008? Oh, so you WERE there in the trial where the 16 year old boy was falsely accused of armed robbery but had to go to jail because he couldn't afford a good lawyer in 2002. You must have been there when they denied the suspect's plead for insanity and put him in a normal jail instead of a hospital to help him in 2004. HA! I know now, how you sat and watched Paris hilton be lifted into praise because her father was a millionaire in the early 2000's. You must have seen the riot in Vancouver just a few months back? So you did get the tip on the new found "religion", the Illuminati just a few years back? I know you studied how the drug overdose rate per 100,000 in 2007 was at it's height of about 900,00! You must have heard of the overwhelming debts we still owe to countries all over the world! HA! You seen the murder of Derrion Albert in 2010, or Rodney Kyles in 2011, both "open and unpunished murders in the streets". I know you saw the Flash mobs in Downtown chicago in 2011. You MUST have, if not how could you have said all of these things relating to it? But i just want to leave you with one question: if you said all of these other things were going to happen, and they've happen, What does this last part of your poem stand for?
