We Live

In An Age

Of Cynicism


¿ But WHY ?

---

  Because ...

  All TOO Often ...
Our 'Leaders'
And Our 'Politicians'
Exhibit
Their Feet of Clay
And Their Greed
  And Their Self-Serving ...
'Talking Points'?


  Because ...

  The Wealthy ...
Seek Always
To Maintain
Their 'Privileged'
Positions
  And Have The Means ...
To Do So?


  Because ...

  Of The VERY Public ...
'Evidence'
Of Political
Corporate
And Personal
Greed
  At The Direct Expense ...
Of Others?



  It Sometimes 'Seems' ...
  Like 'MOST' People ...
Will 'Do-For-Themselves'
  If Given ...
Half-a-Chance



  And While It IS True ...
That Those Things DO Occur
  And That They NEED To Be Pointed Out ...
When They Do

--- Please Try To Remember ---

  That THIS ... Is ONLY ... The 'News' ...

¡ That You HEAR !


  And Remember ...

  That Much of This 'News' ...
Is Promulgated By Those
  Who Have ...
'Hidden'
  'Agendas' ...

  Even IF ...

  Those 'Agendas' ...

  Are 'Only' ...

'Ratings'

Or 'Clicks'

Or 'Likes'

Or 'RTs'



¿ What SELLS ?

¿ Sex ?
¿ Violence ?
¿ Conflict ?
¿ Tragedy ?
¿ FEAR ?


  STOP BUYING ...
  And 'They' ...
Will Stop Selling!


  The Truth Is ...
The Majority
Of Humanity
¡ IS GOOD !

... And WANTS Peace ...

Peace ... For Themselves
And Peace ... For Their Loved Ones

  MOST People ...
Want A Happy And Safe Life
And Environment

With Freedom
And Equality
  And Opportunity ...

  For Themselves ...
  For Their Children ...
  For Their Loved Ones ...
  For Their Neighbors ...

¡ FOR ALL !


  But THAT ... Is Not ...

'News'

And So We Never Hear of It

---

  But WHAT IF WE ...

RISE UP

STAND UP


--- AND ---


SPEAK

¿ PEACE ?


SPEAK

¿ LOVE ?


SPEAK

¿ UNDERSTANDING ?



  And WHAT IF WE ...

--- DEMAND ---

  THE 'GOOD NEWS' ...

Of Peace

Of Love

¿ And Of Understanding ?


--- THEN ---


... 'THEY' ...

  WILL HAVE TO ...

¡ LISTEN !


--- AND ---


WE

SHALL

HAVE

¡ PEACE !



WE

SHALL

HAVE

¡ LOVE !



WE

SHALL

HAVE

¡ UNDERSTANDING !




  And Then These 'Things' ...

  Won't Seem ...

  So 'Funny' ...
