Inequality by Angie There is so much injustice in this world. People are tired of this. Kids suffering from starvation. People only care about money. The world has become a disastrous mess. What happened to our planet? People dying from unneeded wars. Families wanting a better life for their children. People only care about the materialistic. We feed off the internet. What happened to our planet? Dios mio ayudanos. Is this what we want for our future? Angie is a freshman female student at University Heights High School. She is currently 15 years old and is living in The Bronx.
