Crackwhores, crazies, and backwards

Somewhere I missed the memo about "entertainers" using crack and having mental breakdowns are news. Do we have no conscious as a society? Does no one else realize that we are killing these people, that we are the very beasts driving them insane? Not only these people, but when do we realize we're creating the very phenomenon we're against in drug use and poverty. We are not helping ourselves, and worse yet, we seem to be against helping ourselves get out of this whole.

I think my current existence can be summed up in one word: Powerless.

Powerless to change the world. Powerless to even mention the fustration that causes, along with everything else I try at but eventually fall short. Powerless to critize. Can I critize? Am I right? Or is down the new up? Is immature the new mature? Is college the new high school? Do things ever change? Is change possible?

To the barricades indeed. I just wish there we're more trying to build them alongside of me.
