Living In Denial

You wake up, scratch your head or try to pluck off your dreadlocks (if you have any), and wonder why you shouldn’t have an excuse for not getting out of that bed on a cold winter morning. You switch off that alarm clock you’ve placed strategically next to your bed (if you have a bed that is)… strategically because you want to be able to put it off should it attempt to wake you up - you don’t want to walk to it. Oops, your cellphone has another backup alarm and it was left charging elsewhere… you are bound to wake up… It is too late to do anything about it either. Then the images of selfless individuals like Jean-Philippe Tremblay stare down at you. No sounds seem to be coming from their flapping lips, but they seem to remind you of just how much is waiting to be done … so many waiting to be given voices. How you wished you were working for some corporations whose main agendas isn’t anything close to dissemination of information. What does one do? We just have to pray and hope that the next day would be better than today, or mentally beam yourself to that part of the world with warmer weather at present… living in denial…
