from beyond the sprinkles

hey world! so you know how every thing has sugar coating on it? And i don't mean actually sugar (although that would be nice)... I'm talking about reality. like everyone thinks one thing but are completely oblivious to the truth? like how rumors get started about one kid and then the whole school turns on them, but the kid had nothing to do with it, and the rumors are entirely untrue? well life really needs to be looked at a little closer by a whole lot of people... its like sprinkles (if you have the same weird obsession with them as i do... if not is more like frosting...) you can have a cardboard box and if u put enough sprinkles on it ( or frosting) it some how becomes edible. for example, take immigration through Ellis Island... yea literature describes America as being able to give everyone an amazing opportunity in life. but very few few people really know what happened there. millions of people's family's were split or turned away because  they couldn't read, or draw a triangle, or they were sick, or even had a limp. the officials there would give the literacy test in Chinese so people couldn't pass, and if someone came through sick they were "taken care of" in the hospital there, but many died in "treatment". the stairs are long gone but when Ellis Island was first operational, the immigrants would have to stand up straight and walk up and down the stairs at the back of the main hallway with out any baggage(so they couldn't disguise a limp). those who didn't pass inspection of  who was going to help sustain American society were turned back and many did not have enough money for the passage back to their homes.
