Wake Up Call

<font face=georgia> Hundreds of hobos die each day, and they're busy coating their faces with war paint. Terrorists commit suicide, just so the innocent face extinction, while they waste awat their money and the "cool" clothes. Heartless, hypocritical "heroes" slice down thousands of trees, "Only YOU can prevent forest fires." And yet they live on cell phones, always ready to goddip and chat about the latest trends. "Oh, my god!" they shriek. "I broke a nail!" Here comes another trip to the beauty salon, while pollution smothers the environment. A gunshot is heard from miles away. A bullet pierces a poor man's heart. A child will weep and mourn endlessly, wondering what she did wrong, why Daddy will never come home again. War smiles -- homicide is its duty. Who will the next victim be? An environmentalist speaks out about the need to recycle. "Ew, what a tree-hugger!" they squeal. "So what's on the Top Model show tonight?" Unknown orphans gasp with delight. Fried grasshoppers for dinner tonight! "Ugh, Starbucks is closed. I can't go a day without coffee." They fail to realize their shallowness until it's too late. In their eyes, they're superior goddesses and the rest of the world are mere mortals.</font>
