Anything CAN Help

Now I have never been a fan of Kid Rock, ask anyone that knows me, but here lately he has put out some good songs and dropped his self righteous attitude. There's one song in particular on his latest album that really strikes a chord with me. It's called Amen.



This song really hits home with my beliefs on society and it probably strikes you dead in the chest as well. He attacks the problems in the world in just over 4 minutes, and really drives home the message that we can get along and help one another.

"It's a matter of salvation from them patience up above,
So don't give up so damn easy on the one you love,
Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew
Just dying to be with you
You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you
So just hold on 'cause you know it's true
And if you can take the pain
Then you can withstand anything, and one day
Stand hand in hand with the truth"

These words are more than just good, they are true.

You have someone that wants to be with you, and loves you for who you are. Stop being selfish and let that someone in. If you don't know who that person is, let everyone in. Matter of fact, just let everyone in regardless. If everyone was open to each other, this world would be a better place.

Too often do we as people walk through this world without actually looking around at the other people around us. You can walk right past the person that can help you out, and you would never know. You can walk right past your soul mate, next best friend, a person that will open your eyes to the beauty that actually exists in this world. It's not all about war, famine, dictators, death, etc. These things are all caused by us, so we are the ones that can put an end to it all.

Instead of getting mad over a disagreement, just agree to disagree and move on. There is no sense in arguing to the point of getting mad at each other and ending a friendship or preventing one from even starting.

When you see a homeless person on the street somewhere, digging through the trash looking for food we throw away without thinking twice about it, give them a dollar or whatever you are moved to give. Maybe a sandwich or something. Anything.

If everyone chipped in a did a little more, instead of just looking out for themselves, this world will be as beautiful as everyone dreams it can be. The organizations that our out there trying to end world hunger, homelessness, diseases, peace keepers, etc, they are not just blowing smoke up your ass. They are lighting the fire, that causes the smoke for them to blow, under your ass.

Stand up and do something to help. Don't rely on the person down the street to do it. "If you want something done right, then do it yourself".
