[ Last Month My Beautiful Wife Took Me On An Errand ]

[ She Took Me To An ATM ]

[ When We Pulled Into The Parking Lot, I Noticed What I Thought Was A Homeless Man Sitting In A Small Patch Of Grass ]

[ We Parked & I Got Out ]

[ I Went To The ATM & Got What I Came There For ]

[ Well, Maybe Just A Little More Then I Originally Thought I Would ]

[ I Walked Over To The Man & Said, “Hello” ]

[ The Man Was Polite ]

[ He Was Very Unsure Of The Reason Why I Came Up To Talk To Him, Though ]

[ I Reached In My Pocket & Gave Him Some Money ]

[ He Was Quite Shocked, But Said, “Thank You” ]

[ I Said, “You’re Welcome” ]

[ I Got Back In Our Car & We Went Home ]

(001)▪︎[ Modern Society … 2025 ]

What would you change about modern society?

[ I Feel The ‘VID’19 Was The Worst Thing To Happen To Our Society As A Whole ]

[ Nobody Trusts Anyone ]

[ We Are A Very Fractured Society ]

[ People Grouping & Labeling Others ]

[ By Gender, Sexual Preference, Race, Heritage, Politics, Religious Beliefs … ]

[ To Some, We Are No Longer Male Or Female Because They Want That Line Blurred. Like Washing Away The Line That Was Drawn In The Sand. ]

[ People Labeling You A Republican Or A Democrat. That Is NOT What People Are, That Is The Political Party That They Vote For ]

[ Everyone Wants To Be An Individual, On An Island. No Longer Part Of Anything. People Marking “Other” On Forms ]

[ But Then Wanting To Be Treated As An Equal, But Then Equal To Who. People Want To Be So Different Than Others, Then They Don’t ]
