Climbing Anthills...

When did our mountain top, transform into the entrance of an anthill? When did we start accepting defeat, welcoming hand me downs, begging to sing and dance with an unhumanlike, instantly manufactured smile, and only reaching for that 7'-5" high rim, instead of the stars only a few thousand miles away? When did minds start to only collaborate and differ on who's staying with which record label, instead of starting proposals, presentations (power point, of course) and starting petitions, aiding in the creation of active and developed community centers, parks, consumer-minded businesses/restaurants (forget McDonalds, the chinese food store around the corner and the corner store, forget 50 cent sodas and lil debbie snacks)??? When did we forget about us, not me, but us? True, we are not are responsible for each other, we're really not, but maybe we should...care. We should care for others, for the people we see everyday, for those who share a common mother - for those who don't, for those who serve us our Toffee Nut Latte every morning, for those who beg us for a penny-a nickel-anything on the train while we keep our heads low/avoid eye contact, we should care for everyone: easier said than done, I know but...maybe, maybe then, in the end there will be millions caring for us,
guiding us,
pushing us,
forever racing us up mountains,
instead of simply pointing out the same ol' anthill millions have climbed, achieved and which within they have remained...
