I saw a fully-grown man in the park today,
running frantically trying to catch the last few remaining
leaves
as they fell from the
trees.

The wind took most of them,
but he caught one and stared at it in amazement for a moment
as I walked by,
before dropping it and running to catch
another.

My dad worked on a farm when he was my age. My grandpa grew up on a farm, and worked hard. Twelve hours a day during the summer, and six hours a day the rest of the year. Now I work on a farm, and I work hard, but only for a dying legacy. More and more farmland is chopped up and sold into suburbia.

Farmer Jones just sold five hundred acres of prime farmland for a few million dollars, but only because there’s no other way to stay afloat in this business. Can’t afford to live on the farm anymore, because no one can compete with corporate farms half or a quarter the size, with twice the output.

Us workers can’t afford to compete with robots, who will work only for electricity and oil. Someone is paid fifteen dollars an hour to maintain the machines, but one man could watch a hundred of those things.

Us workers can’t compete with cheaper human labor found elsewhere, because now we can’t afford to pay for our own houses, and we can’t afford to have families. Either can the other workers, but it’s out of our hands.

Our farms can’t survive and are dying, but it’s out of our hands. Farmland will make way for mini-malls, homes, and more roads. We can’t afford to shop at these malls, live in these homes, and we can’t afford to drive on these roads, because capitalism has paved them in gold.

One man wants to run the whole show, own all the farms, and his name is Greed.

I think our school should have a bus sick system.

I believe that everyone should learn to get car sick.

In my opinion, getting car sick is an enjoyable thing to do. I  beleive everyone should learn to get car sick. It’s fun, fast, and easy. All ya’ have to do is eat alot before the trip, also sit in the back seat. Wobble your head alot. Well, you’re half way there, ask if you can stop at a gas station. Get alot of junk food. Eat it all. Wobble around some more. Ask to stop at another gas staition, get 7 cans of pop. Drink it all. Shake your head. Ask sit in front seat. Well, your almost there. By this time you should have a stomach ache, head ache, and your eyes should hurt. Keep on holding it down. Well, by now you should roll down your window find a young couple and let it out. You should be there by now. Remember it’s fun, fast, and easy!
