As i walk in the labyrinth of life.....
i see things...most of them saddening...
..the atrocities...the shame...the madness of it all...
..am saddened and humbled at how lucky I am...
I see a mother..holding her 4 month old baby....
weeping..wailing screaming in agony....
blood all over her clothes....on the shawl covering her child...
what monstrosity....what evil....
an infant raped....a future destroyed....
Her once bundle of joy...now lying lifeless in her arms...
I can feel the anguish in her soul;her spirit shattered...
They have taken away her life..her joy..her happiness..
why did this have to happen...why why why... she asks....
There is SILENCE....no answers..just pain staring back at her....emptiness..
I see her eyes staring into space...no more hope..she wants to die...she has no reason to live...
I cry..my heart bleeds...what can i do..how do i take the pain away...
How many tears will it take..to wash her pain away....
How many loving embraces will it take for her to feel whole again...
How many words will it take...to mend her soul and her spirit.....
I feel helpless and disjointed....
I see another woman lying on the hospital bed..
bruises....cuts..broken ribs..slashed face...
Bleeding allover..
She is in intense pain....
I ask myself how could it be....
The one you love and cherish would put u through so much pain....
when does Love turn into something so brutal...
...when does the one u love,become the one u fear and abhor...
I look at her lying there..
Am disturbed..am sad.....pissed off..
I hold her hand....hoping it can relieve her pain...
Tears rolling down my cheeks...am trying to keep it inside...
But..i cant....
I feel like my soul is being whipped..my body aching allover....
am shaking and trembling...i have no more strength..
I can't keep it together anymore.....
Asking why...why did this happen....
...and again..there is SILENCE...only anguish and bitterness glaring back at us..
I take her in my arms and hold her...we both cry....for hours and hours...
I see people..struggling..people in pain...people in despair....
Am i just a passer by?..a spectator??....
....I think to myself;am comfortable why should i care....??
why should i carry other people's burdens...
Its not me..its them...
.............BUT it still gets me....
..........it bothers me...
If i could..i would...make it all go away...
..but that's not how it works....this is the life...this is the world we live in
of the haves and have nots..
the givers and the takers...
of those who have wallowed in misery since birth..
...and of those who no nothing of misery....
Is it unfair..YES...is it painful YES..is it sad..YES...
.....but that's the Script of LIFE.....
