Extroverted Introspect

This year is winding down. All vegetation outside is slowly dying and preparing for the frigid winter ahead. Quickly would be an understatement when describing how this year has past. So many things left untouched that should have been accomplished. In the words of numerous Americans, "Next year will be different and somehow I will find the motivation that has been lost over the years and turn a new leaf".

So, as 2012 rapidly approaches I can't help but wonder if Americans will start becoming motivated to change. So much stock has been invested into the belief that we, the human race, will be wiped out of existence in about 2 years. Will we be giving up capitalistic overindulgence and start working towards "A better tomorrow"? doubtful.

We have merchandise that tells us to "Be Green".... but do people grasp the reality - the state in which our earth is crumbling beneath our feet. It seems as though this is merely a trendy shopping experience for most. Consumerism is the beating heart of Capitalism - I say, let it bleed out.

I am known to have my fair share of random outbursts and soapbox rants... this morning... I felt pretty provoked and wanted to share some art I found that correlates with my verbal expression - please enjoy!
