Poverty
Pretty simple title ain’t it? Poverty.
I ran up 11 floors, puffing and sweating, my legs aching like crazy. Hey! I’m a fat kid, I’m not used to running my ass up 11 floors. I was late for my NSTP (National Service Training Program) class. I reached the 11th floor, sweating and panting, and kind of pissed when I saw the school clock. It seemed that I had 10 more minutes for class. How fucking stupid! I could’ve walked my ass up the stairs! But in any case, I slumped down on a chair, catching my breath, wiping the sweat from my face.
***
The class was fairly populous. Truth be told, I thought I was coming to an almost empty class. So I took my seat, and the discussions began. My group- Group 3- was told to list down a few things that would help the poor. I was like, ‘Great! I got a few awesome ideas.’
Before I could spew out my ideas, something pissed me off… something REALLY pissed me off. ‘Hey!’ said a girl, ‘why don’t we have some parlour games for the poor!’
That didn’t piss me off. What pissed me off was the fact that people put that shit down on paper! They were actually serious about that! I stood up, puffed my chest, pushed my chair back violently, and screamed out, ‘YOU DON’T FUCKING HELP ANYONE BY PLAYING SOME FUCKING GAMES!’ They ere all shocked and amazed by my reaction. They bowed down to my feet.
Now if that actually fucking happened, I would’ve lost weight, saved the world and lost my virginity in 30 seconds. Hey guess what? It didn’t happen = =”
Instead, I murmured to the person next to me, ‘Why party games? It doesn’t help the poor in anyway…’
‘They’ll have fun!’
They’ll have fun!? What the fuck does he mean they’ll have fun? I just shut up at that moment ’cause I knew I had lost. I gave him a statement, he answered back. I was supposed to make him rethink the fucking thing, except he just answered me calmly and cooly. Now ifI ever show him this blog, let him see what I have to say.
The poor don’t need your fucking party games! Yes, they’ll have fun. It will be like a colourful memory in their otherwise bleak lives. But it doesn’t fucking matter! They will die in the very same shitty place you’ve left them in if you don’t do anything now! They can be tomorrow’s leaders or public figures. They can get some cash to get by if we did something! If we just worked together to clean up their areas, teach them to make use of the trash to plant stuff or even just teach them some proper basic education, they could function in our society not as spare parts but as gears in the machine we call a country. We can save lives and even build of broken ones, we can demolish the gap between the rich and the poor, we can save this country! It’s all in our hands! And we’re not going to go anywhere with some fucking party games!!!!
You know, it breaks my heart everytime I go outside. You see husband and wife sleeping on a cardbox cutout. Holding each other while the wet ground reflects the car’s headlights as they pass by. They’re almost naked, save for the peices of cloth that hang from their bodies. Their son, their little boy, comes to the small area by the side of the road and lies down with them. His only possessions that he may ever treasure. His family.
Also, while in the car, I see people begging for some cash. These people with disabilities, with messed up faces. I can barely look at them without having myself tearing up. It’s a new country- with new people and cultures. The only thing I can never adjust to, is the poverty that permeates the streets. The poverty which people ignore.
Symbolism (the upside down cross)
Right, so I don’t have anything to say for today, but I guess I could clear up a few common misconceptions. So um, as I came out of the exam hall the other day, I saw some weird ass kid with piercings, make-up, oh! and this
was around his neck. An upside down cross. Of course, me being both an idiot and a curios person, I asked him on Why the fuck was he wearing an upside down cross!? He explained that he hates God and other random shit like that, and that this cross is a sign of his hate, and he went on and on and on, on how it was a symbolism for satanism. Okay, the kid got one thing straight- it was used by the hippies (possibly unintentionally) in their ‘peace sign’ and hey! also another sect uses it! Hint: It’s not a satanic cult. It’s
Dun dun duuuuunn
Oh yea, the Pope. Hey, does that mean he’s Anti-Christ too?
Look at him, sitting in his evil chair, looking evil like what evil people do. Bastard!
No he isn’t. He is guilty of doing other things, but being a satanist due to ‘evidence’ of an inverted cross is not. I mean, many sites claim that! like this one,

Oh by the way, I got the images from them… so let’s say a big ‘Thank you!’ x)
Okay, down to the real deal. The upside down cross is not satanic. Did anyone hear me clearly? The upside down cross, is not satanic. Why? Because it means exactly the opposite of what you all think it is. It means devotion, complete and utter devotion to Christ. It is a frigging symbol of respect and love for Jesus! St. Peter asked his executioners to crucify him upside down, because he felt that he was not worthy to die in the same manner as Jesus. Is anyone getting this?
Now, the Catholic Church adopted the cross to show or represent the Pope’s humility before God. It’s a bloody symbol for the phrase, ‘I’m not worthy to tie his sandals (an outline of what John the Baptist said)’ Now some noobish retards tried to find a way in which to show how the Vatican was evil. They saw the cross. These guys knew it was a big ‘fuck you’ in the face of Christianity, and so they used it as a scandal. Now some other fucking retarded teenagers see this, (and wanting individualism) decided to use it as a symbol for their hate of just about everything! Without even bothering to find out about it’s origins, they decided to use the motherfucking symbol, and soon, before you know it, the whole fucking world thinks it’s anti-Christ. Shit! They even used it in The Omen!
That's one scary motherfucker. But he's so cute ^-^ lemme pinch his cheeks, just one touch, OMG! OH MY GOD! HE'S SATAN! AHHHHHHHHHH
Take that, stupid fucking Gothic kid DX
