How Did We Get Here

We now live in a world where evil is being trivialized
Where the dignity of human life is no longer respected
Where the sanctity of marital vows is no longer relevant
Where honesty and integrity are outdated
Where people kill en masse as a way of worship of some god
Where perpetrators of evil are praised and victims are condemned
Where widows and orphans are detested
Where the handicapped are mocked for their condition
Where rapists walk free and rape victims are ridiculed
Where gentleness and kindness are seen as signs of foolishness
The list goes on and on.....

How did we get here? What happened to you? What happened to me? What happened to us? These are questions that require deep and personal sober reflections, because we must be the change the world needs. The light that shines in darkness. The salt that sweetens lives. The agents of love, honesty, integrity and moral uprightness. And the time to start is NOW.

Butterflies In My Room

I laid on my back
Eyes opened, mind blank
I was down and depressed
I want to give up, for I'm stressed

Then I saw them, even in the gloom
Butterflies in my room
Gliding without a fear
All beauty and fair

How I wish I could fly
Fly above my limitations
Gliding without worry
In all the beauty
Which God has given me.

(The Samguine)

Just A Moment

I looked at her
And she looked at me
Our eyes met

For a moment or two
She felt it
And I felt it
That moment or two
Was all we need

(Sam-uQuah : Love and other Afflictions)
