Everything on Earth is Borrowed..
There is no "Mine" or "Yours"
.. There is only "Ours"
Even Time is
Borrowed.
We Kill over a Plot of Land,
that belongs only to
our Mother Earth.
All you have is what you
came with.. and what
you will leave with...
Your Spirit..

Truth be told this is less about how much Bezos and Gates have (although they have 1.4 million times more than the median family)

We process payments for other small biz. We just had the worst 3 months for small biz in a century.

Roughly 200 km northwest of the city of Agadez, in northern Niger, lies a tiny village of around 50 families which is pockmarked with hundreds of salt ponds filled with pastel colored brine water, attended to by men, women, and children all hard at work buff.ly/2EAFIFP

Wherever I go, I always feel the people I meet are the same as human beings like me. Scientists have also observed that we human beings are social animals. We have a sense of community. Right from birth we have the same feelings of closeness to those around us.

On this #Juneteenth, when the world’s finally paying attention, let’s honor those who’ve always celebrated this day, just like they’ve always felt the brunt of systemic racism. At a moment of reckoning, let ‘s open eyes, ears, and hearts to those we need to see, hear, and love.
