Look Around

There's so much torment on earth that I don't know where to focus anymore. Where is the root so that we can expose it and cut it away? When I remember to look at the stars I hope that Heaven is still out there and that this horror has not reached so high that Paradise too has been tainted. God seems very far away. There are pockets of Hell on Earth. How can children be born into darkness like that? How is that someone's "lot". Truly God, You are too great for me to understand Your ways. Everything diminishes before You. We are all yearning for Your Peace. Death though? Is that the release? I cannot accept that. Joy and Happiness should not be things to be achieved. Peace should not be fought for. We should not have to 'just get used to Pain'. Or accept that this is how things are. "It is what it is". "The Universe is as it should be". My mind is blown by the terrible beauty..... and the hideous depravity of our world. This is real. It's really happening. The nightmare is everywhere. But people are walking in their day-sleep. They won't look at it. So it goes on and on without relief for those condemned to have their lives squeezed out of them, being tortured by 'The Man'. We are in the midst of the Apocalypse. The Four Horsemen are on a rampage. There is much worse to come. Do your part to show tenderness and kindness to those who are suffering unfathomable hurt. Permit them their dignity and don't ignore them. You may wish you had never opened your eyes, that your innocence is so valuable to you, but how can you live with yourself in denial? How dare we? Shame on us. Be brave. Step up and discuss the awful conversations. Give voice to your feelings about #Syria #BokoHaram #MexicanCartels #Russia #Turkey #Rohingya #Genocide #RefugeeCamps #AntiShiism #Palestine #AntiSemitism #Corruption #Cancer #Homelessness #HateSpeech #Racism #WhiteCollarCrime #Pedophilia #WarRape #Torture #Slavery #FleshTrade Look around. With your inside eyes. Find the thing that matters most to you, that concerns you personally or perhaps more repugnantly than the many other things. Really take a good-long-hard LOOK at it. Once you do something will take hold of your heart. It will touch resonance somewhere. You will find your tongue. Speaking Truth to Power is our only Weapon and Your Voice is needed. Please.
