Is this you? Focused on your own life? Your enjoyment? Your entertainment? There's children in South America being hunted on the streets for sport There's shootings across the globe There are women contemplating killing their child because they aren't able to take care of them There are mothers raising their kids alone, no one to defend them No husband or father to fight for them Slavery is still alive Who will stand for what's right? Who will fight for the defenseless? Is it you? Or are you too busy thinking about what you are going to eat for lunch or where you are going on vacation? Is there any man willing to dump the poisonous images and stop thinking of their own pleasure for the sake of others? Are you complacent?
