The illusion of peace has the world in shambles today, our perspectives deranged and our hearts tainted. A world where the hungry hold guns and the thirsty drink bullets, where the mind of a child is molded to fulfill the ulterior motives of the preacher himself, where religion is reduced to just an excuse and where the remnants of humanity have begun to disappear.
Bloodshed is in vogue it seems; innocent lives lost are after all nothing more than “collateral damage”. So what if a few million children starve to their deaths?
Making the world a better place kick starts with endless wars, inexcusable inhumanity and the insatiable greed for the invisible throne of control.
So much for globalization! As a people and as nations, all we do is turn a blind eye. This cataract of ignorance leads us to bliss.
The little worlds of comfort we have weaved for ourselves are the only ones we chose to see. The misery, suffering and hatred are unseen and forgotten.
And for those of us who chose to think and ponder, we circle back to where we start. For those of us who want to do, we try and we give up.
This feeling of helplessness often consumes my spirit, I feel hopeless and lost. A good deed or two is never enough to ameliorate all the pain there is.
A Revolution is what the heart desires, a Renaissance of a different kind, a Road to the world of sanity.
As children we are taught the virtues of sharing, brotherhood and kindness and yet somehow we manage to grow into conceited adults.
It is time we are made to open our eyes and realize there is enough for us all.
All we need is to start all over again.
