Injustice a piece by A. Arbona

What is injustice? Of course I know what I believe it is but what about you? Injustice to me is when a little boy is left alone to fend for himself, when a little girl is married off by her family to make a little cash. When an old man can't go to the hospital because they have no room for people like him. When someone spits at a homeless person just because they have that slightest bit difference financially. So don't tell me that Injustice is when you don't get what you want because there are millions out there who have no food, no shelter, and worst of all no one.

You live with injustice, there is no denying that we the people of the United States of America and the rest of the world live with injustice. Every day when I walk home I see just how horrible this world can be how cruel mother nature can respond to making a few mistakes or being born into poverty.

And I'm sure you all see it as well.

People turn to boxes for shelter. For support, why? Why don't we help Why don't we do something anything!

Because we're scared

We're frightened we try to ignore it because we think that poverty and social class are mountains. Mountains we can't climb, and you think that it's contagious. You're wrong though the only thing contagious is the help you give the emotion, the love, the friendliness, the prosperity, and that's what kills me. The fact that us "high and mighty" believe that we're better than them,  and I can tell you now by not helping them is what makes you worse. So the next time you see a man ask you for a dollar even though he might not be spending the money on the house you want him to just give it to him. Please.

Be brave,
 Aidan Arbona
