I am confusedly scared - not that Iraq is close to me but i am yet scared and sad and angry. Went to school with a good friend dfrom Iraq called Rufaidah, one of the first people to help my interest in French. She is probably somewhere in her country now, how does Rufaidah feel? What if it was here in my country?
Behind the eyes of the leaders, each with a point but i know ego has a lot to do with this situation. Please Lord, Protect Rufaidah and the Iraqi people.
I am scared in an unusual way, not fear, but cos i know the 'children' that this war will birth into the politics and economy of the future will be borne by my generation.
By our Generartion for goodness sake, not thiers! Angry, yes anger at the 'old generation' that in the name of a better world turn it all upside down for us.
Angry at the inepititude of the UN, or is it ineptitude?
I am ANGRY at and with the nations that believe they have the right to right the perceived wrong in other nations - Neo Colonialism??? - with or without the nations consent.
Maybe i am just an angry confused girl? No angry yes, confused, no. From my point of view 'down here' My generation will have to spend considerable energy cleaning up (is that even remotely possible?) the religious, cultutral, political etc etc etc mess THIS has created.
My heart bleeds, bleeds tears and blood for i feel the fall of the mortar, missiles and bombs upon heads like mine, i feel the fear of the mother and child with a father, sister and brother at war.
War is a necessary evil i was brought up to accept but i deny that 'truth ' today. Killing another man in the name of justice debases you to the same rank as the one killed. We build to destroy and destroy to destroy yet again in a vicious cycle.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...
My heart beats a rythm out of tandem
My soul dances to the distant rhythm of the drums of war
My body jerks to the 'feeled' pain of people in WAR
My mind floats in a confused and sacred vacum of what the future holds
My head is angry , angry, ANGRY!!!
