Lindsay Lohan

By Emily Carpenter

Today I saw Lindsey Lohan on the cover of the New York Post

And I’m thinking

Wow

Have we become so blind that we do not notice that shields are covering our eyes

They put up pictures of drunken celebrities

For this there is no need

Except to hide us from the truth

The truth about how millions die over seas

How children beg for their life on their hands and knees

And why is this happening more and more

To hide us from

Darfur

And Aids

And Genocide

The FBI

We consider Osama Bin Laden

A terrorist

When our very own government kills people who are trying to put this to rest

They killed a man who helped the sick

Tell me why is Assasta Shakur on the top ten

When our men can shoot a man 50 times

Because of what

Justice?

The fact is thousands died in the Rwandan Genocide of 94’ 

But no one did anything

Not even president Clinton

Tell me how did he help Bosnia and not Rwanda

This is not something to ponder

Its obvious that while this was going on

News about drunken celebrities was on

And they put Lindsey Lohan on the cover of the New York Post

They put Lindsey Lohan on the cover of the New York Post

While people run around killing and stripping people

Of their lives

Who are we to decide

Who lives and who dies

Who laughs and who cries

Right now a child loses her father

A mother loses a baby

A person

Bombs a country full of people

Tell me who needs help the most

and they put

Lindsey Lohan

On the cover

Of the New York Post
