We always give up [[sleeping in->Wake Up?]] to go eat those damn [[worms.->Wake Up!]]Wouldn't it be [[nice->My Day]] to wake up by just waking up? Shouldn't we be looking for ways to [[take care]] of ourselves?We get up from those screeches to go dig up those slimey chewy creatures. Does [[everyone->Eat]] eat worms? Have we really found nothing but worms [[to eat?->Shares]]Like there's probably [[things]] out there eating those berries, or maybe the veggies from the garden. It feels like there's things out there ready to eat us!
murmurs
(click-replace:"murmurs")[Yea, no shit]
(click-replace:"Yea, no shit")[Like we haven't tried [[dumbass]]]No one even understands that I don't even get to keep the worms I earn. I get up to dig, and then those worms have to go get dropped into my [[kids'->Ungrateful]] mouths. Maybe I could even take a whole day for [[me?->Ideal]] Would that [[be->More]] too much to ask? My day would involve eating what I want, when I want. It would involve doing the things that make me happy. It would involve the people that make me happy. And that would be [[all->take care]].

Always thinking they [[deserve]] more. They see the others and think that they should have as much as they do. Well don't I feel the same when I look at you.

(click-replace:"He hates his kids")[He doesn't think that kids should [[eat->dumbass]].]I want more than worms. Maybe that means less, but I want to be [[more than these worms.]]These kids don't understand [[our struggle]]. They won't until they are in it themselves. But all we want is for them to not have to become a part of this. The endless rummage for the next worm. No one wants their kid to have to deal with that. I know that you all don't because its all we talk about out in the field. But what do we do? We leave those kids to go figure it out on their own. We gotta change this.

There aren't a ton of options laid out for us to take. This path isn't the path of least resistence, it is the [[only path]] that we can see. We will all be stuck on this endless loop of chasing worms. We already are stuck. There is no other way to see this. I wish I had the answer for you all. Nothing about this situation looks good. We might as well get back to work. I hope one of us can figure out how we can better our lives. I don't even need the massive change. I just need some small improvements to keep me happier.

I want my kids to never have to eat worms. Or to have to rummage through the dirt every morning. I know that we can only go up from here. There is so much opportunity around us. This system, the one we have now, is one that we must no longer settle for. We have found that it doesn't work for us so it has to [[change.]]
murmurs

(click-replace:"Don't do drugs kids")[Surprised any flavors could hide from [[that massive beak->works]]]We can all work together to find the things that work best for us. That is the reality of it. We can create our ideal system by taking note of what works for us individually. If you would rather sleep in before getting to work, sleep away! We may need to think more like those giants. They take our homes, built from hardwork, and destroy them. Why do they do this? To make themselves feel more comfortable. Our homes seem dirty to them. They wear their gloves and use their plastic bags so that they don't catch any of these diseases they claim we carry. We need to start seeing our lives as something that deserves to be comfortable. We aren't in the way. We are right where we belong. They're the ones who came to our land. That is the facts. [[So why should we feel bad about using it?]]

You know that you get enough worms in the day and you'll be fine. You'll survive. But it is simply not true. Every day we don't change, things get harder. The system becomes more stable everyday we aren't working to tear it down. The less we do, the less we'll get that comfort we deserve. And it'll keep getting harder. I am raising to you all the opportunity to make life better. To change our ways. To trust eachother and help eachother instead of racing for food. But it's gonna take all of [[us.->Wake Up?]]

I bet you feel that anger everytime you see someone else get a worm before you. You could have sworn you tried that spot like four times before and there was nothing there. Then they get that worm that'll shut up those kids. It pisses me off everytime. I just want to go relax, but now I get to watch you fly off with what [[could have been mine->Wake Up!]].

[[//fly away//->Worms]]Maybe we can't fix everything that is wrong. We still need to be uncomfortable at times in order to value the comfort.

[[//fly away//->Worms]]Have you seen the birds that they lock up in these cages. No where to fly. Sure they're fed, but that's no way for a bird to live. Sometimes, close to the window, you can hear them yelling for help. Yelling for hours. These cages are small too. They cram more than one in there too. That would drive anyone insane. The ones that make it out don't know how to handle themselves. The giants think that its fun to listen to them scream all day. [[It's just not right.->Wake Up!]]
