I know this one is disturbing, but I'm
disturbed when I go out and see
people living on the streets. For some
reason the holidays make
homelessness all the more poignant.
I hear you... all the money spent on the elections these days could have been there for people in need.... In Holland -the country where I come from- this is NOT possible, yet in one of the most powerful countries of the world, the USA, (where I live now) people have to live of food stamps, many can't afford health insurance , have no homes... It's ashame... The richer get richer, the poor get more poor. -- BRAVO June, to let your voice hear! This is my pic of the day of course! --Love and Light~Olga
Artist Reply: Thank you, Olga. Unfortunately American will probably never adopt the European way of offering affordable health insurance, food, homes, etc. America has let greed take over completely and corporate America rules, not democracy.
Thank you...as an artist i believe this is part of what we do. We reflect what we see...no need to qualify your art ! It speaks...as one who has been homeless at holiday times...& we need to speak for those who don't have a voice, or nobody wants to hear b/c it's too 'disturbing'. I applaud you !
