As
you read this article, someone in this world bemoans a land, another
declares his paradise. A woman gives birth to a brand new
life, as an ageing one breathes their final breath. A family of six
share two litres of water and a loaf of bread,
as an obese woman gorges alone on two whole Chickens and a tub of Salt
and Vinegar
Pringles. A banker gambles away in seconds the equivalent of a family
mortgage, another has just signed his lifetime away to pay-off. Money is
lost, money is earned, money is burned, and money is created out of
thin air.
A youngster jumps in ecstasy as his
favourite sports team wins a major cup final, as another cries in
sorrow from the same games outcome. The music of Justin Bieber is loved
and cherished by a teenager, as a stranger a wall away wonders what the fuss is all about. A
soul denounces God, as another finds them. A man watches an attractive woman,
a woman holds a child, a child giggles at a Dog, a Dog plays with a Cat, a
Cat eats some Tuna Fish, and a Tuna fish is being caught by a hard working
fisherman, who had just spent five minutes watching an attractive woman.
Someone
discovers running, somebody else discovers walking,
a baby learns to crawl, and another learns to fall. A heroic soldier
dies in the
battlefield, as a cowardly politician orders more soldiers to replace
him. A man criticizes the Police’s presence, as another begs for them to
arrive. A
couple have sex, someone masturbates, and a virginity is lost, as a
pensioner remembers his last erection. Cars are driven, passengers hitch
a lift, and someone in a wheelchair remembers the ability to drive a
car. A teenager fails a test another passes, someone learns they have
cancer, as another is given the all clear. A family leave a land for
freedom,
as another family arrive for solitude.
An old man watches Family Guy, as a young adult enjoys
Laurel and Hardy. A couple fall in love for the first time, another part for the last. People become
legally married, while others get divorced.
A man declares Islam the true religion, another declares Christianity
with the same power. Someone else wonders how stupid they both are,
while another hardly
bothers to care. Songs are played, items purchased, friends
enjoy a beer in a quiet park, moments away from a house where friends
fight and argue. Birds sing, Children laugh, and poor souls on
dirty buses on a hot summers day wish for cold, as a frozen land dweller
begs for the sunshine.
There
are marches of peace,
marches of war, stories being told of hate, love, pain, fear, life, and
death. One man judges, as another is judged. A shirt is torn, as another
is sewn. Seeds are planted, as plants are destroyed. Someone is
thinking about the billions of actions happening at any given moment,
while another is simply trying to survive. A woman goes to sleep, a man
awakes for the morning, and someone is taking a half-asleep piss in a
darkened bathroom. A man begs for a silence another can no longer bear.
Somebody remembers how life is constantly in motion, as another is in
motion. Someone writes an article about existence, someone reads an
article, about existence...
