Emphasis Preaching Journal

Don't you talk to me about compassion, God, until you know what it is like down here. Do you know what it is like to have nothing while everyone around is flaunting their wealth? Do you know what it is like to get shoved into the system when justice is only a word, where truth doesn't matter and only money talks? Do you know how it is to live with disease? To watch it take away family and dreams? Do you know how heavy it is here? How the power mongers keep us shoved on the floor? Where the only leaders are not leaders but leeches, taking instead of guiding, corrupt and deceitful?
