Once
upon a time there was a state and her name was California. She smelled
of honeysuckle and oranges. She was a happy and bright state. Everyone
who came was impressed with her beauty and she soon became known as the
Golden State. Decades passed and this dear old California began to feel
weathered and worn. She loved all her people, but through the years
sensed a change. It was a gradual change,
but it was not for the better. It was an unhealthy change full of money
and greed. It was polluted air and poisoned children. It was innocent
deaths and costly consequences. And it broke Mother Earth's heart to see
her sweet California suffer so. But then one day there was an
opportunity! A chance for her people to bring back her smile! She
silently pleaded for good to prevail. For a healthier future with clean
air and a cure! A cure for a disease that takes HALF of her people!! She
waited and waited until she heard the results and then beamed inside
when her people came through. For now money would be spent in all the
right places and children were given a chance to be kids. Clean air was
abundant, healthy people were thriving and California, once again,
became happy and bright.
I love this!
