Apathy has gripped those who should have been at the forefront to stop this fire. And no one can say that there was no warning, there have been flashes near the hay stack before yet we did not understand, now with the fire raging with all its fury we are still clueless, we ask how did it happen? There is a fire in our backyard but we have become so senseless that the heat doesn't even make us sweat.
There are wolves in the barn yet the shepherd sleeps peacefully, you can't blame the wolves for it is there nature to devour. We have been dissected before to feed the hungry wolves, knives have been drawn once again as the hunger of these blood thirsty animals grows everyday. There failure to devour us completely in the past fuels their hatred, but as i said we cannot blame the wolves because they are merely following their instincts, the fault is at our end, our weakness and divisions have made us vulnerable. We have forgotten that alone there are five fingers which can be broken one by one, together they form a fist that may be broken but not before it has caused some discomfort. We have forgotten the dream that bound us together, we are 'we' no more! It is group of too many "i's" and "me's".
17 killed in the past three days, killed by those who should have been standing by their side. Our forefathers bled together to nurture our land, today we kill each other not realizing that the dead were our brothers and their demise eventually leads to our weakness.
Where are the Messiahs? where are those who would march to stop a brother killing a brother ? sadly there is none!
As brother slaughters brother, and as we sacrifice the whole to get our individual pieces another day passes and becomes a part of the past, becomes history. The sad part is when i turn the pages of our history i realize, there is just one thing that we have learned from history and that is our inability to learn anything from history.
