Where Has All the Conversation Gone?

I miss the art of conversation.   The world is so fast paced that we don't talk to each other anymore.  I lay in bed most nights wondering if I'll ever have a real conversation again.  Not self-serving banter but one where myself & another individual really listen to one another.  Not because we are trying to see how much we can benefit from the other but simply because we both care.  I can't remember the last time that happened & it saddens me.  I want a connection outside of myself but it seems to be an impossible thing to ask.   So I am in this space, expressing myself to the void, in hopes that there is someone out there who feels the same.  Maybe then we can start a revolution to revive the art of conversation & actually begin to feel again.

Selfish

I need to take a moment to express myself.  Whether anybody ever reads this or it is forever hidden in the neglected pages of this blog.  I have reached a place of deep dissatisfaction. Lost between the realization of my destiny and the death of my dreams.  I don't know what is next because I have so much to say but there is no one to listen,  Everyday I understand myself a little more as those around me understand me a little less.  Can they see me, can they hear me, can they see me.  I feel as though I am alone in this place and I need to understand why.  I know that there is a reason for all of this yet I am so tired of waiting for the answers.  I am ready to walk away from it all and just start over but I know that this is not the answer.

All I desire is for someone to care about something other than themselves.  There is death, war, abuse, poverty, hate, racism, injustice, and displacement, plaguing this world and everybody is so wrapped up in themselves.  I am frustrated because everyone is too worried about themselves to care about what is happening to those around them.  This is the direction of this land that we call America and it is the reason why we are experiencing decline.  Yet because I will not effect your bottom line and you have enough to think about, you will never read these words, never think about how this knowledge hurts me, never care to be a part of the change that has to happen or we will all be lost.
