Occupy Wall Street

                                   

Zuccoti Park: the first thing you notice are the police officers:


The people:


Sleeping:


Protesting:


The colors:


The music: I actually got this drum circle on video, if only I knew how to post it:


The press:


The humanity: This first picture reminded me of 9/11, the second one is a picture of all their blankets and sleeping bags put away for the day, these people actually SLEEP there, dedication for sure!


 My favorite part, the words:


 I like this of course:


 Did you think this said something else? I did when I first looked back at the photos I took, lol


 Ah, you are appreciated! Thanks

 
I loved this Walt Whitman quote:

       
Yes, let's do:

                                           

Who these people really are:

                                                    

This was a garbage bucket, it said, "The struggle is not over" MLK. I so agree on all levels!
                                     




                                      


                                        


The poetry: This was a book of thoughts the people have been writing since Week 1:

                                

More words to Walt Whitman:


A pearl and it's journey:


The generosity: This is a man explaining the concept of their free library. Honor system, take what you want, donate if you want, leave a book in return. Bring it back when you're done with it... if you want to. Now that's my kind of library, too bad I was traveling with only a backpack and didn't want to weight it down any further as I already had probably 5 books in it already.

                                 

The drama: These people were shouting at the man representing EGO to GROW UP!  LOVED it!




 The final message I got on my way out, these people are trying to change our current financial system to something that benefits all mankind. I can admire them for that. They CARE, and it's the people that care enough about something to take a stand that change the world.Thanks to everyone that CARES, no matter what your political persuasions and other beliefs are.

To create change, people must feel AND provide possible solutions, not just yell and scream. I do not doubt they feel strongly about their beliefs, but I am sure they are approaching the situation from a flawed perception; they are directing their anger and aiming it in the wrong direction.
