oceans rise. cities fall. hope survives.
tsunami. something i never thought i'll hear other than in a tale of long ago and far away. the casualties. the devastation. the people who lost their loved ones. lost their homes. lost their dreams.
it is the holiday season and people are suppose to be enjoying time with their loved ones. i am afraid to watch the news too much. i know i will weep and be affected. i am saddened by the lost of lives. the dispair of those who lost their loved ones. families and friends missing or dead. little children orphaned. hopes dashed away in the torrents. dreams shattered. lifes uprooted.
the 'civilised' world leave so much to be angry about. the super powers, spends BILLIONS on weopons and 'stealth satellites' and all kinds of shit and donate some millions to these people who are dead, dying, lost everything. that is at a factor of about 100s. people are worried about how they are going to spend the new year and things they are going to get. analyst immediatly states that the impact on the countries economy is minimal. at this time when more than 55,000, FIFTY FIVE THOUSANDS!!!, are dead and probably MILLIONS are homeless, these people worry about economy. about the rich country exploiting the poor countries' cheap labor and resources.
i wish i could do something. i have no money to give. i have nothing to give. and i cannot leave things here to go. even if i wanted, what can i do? anguished at the uselessness of i. i cannot even take good care of myself..
sedated about life. pretty normal. things getting on track. just..maybe hoping for more? will get more when i let myself i guess. haha..not everything we want..we will get. come what may. who knows what tomorrow brings. i'm sure the people who lost themselves or loved ones did not think this could happen to them. have a friend who was there and luckily unhurt or otherwise affected. close call.
the survivors are the sufferers. blessed are those who passed on, for they are rested. we alive carrys memories of those who passed from this life, carry on hurting and having dreams broken. hope those who are still there gets their life back on track and be able to move on stronger.
not really making sense i think. just hope they get the help they need and are able to rebuild their lives from this disaster.
senseless-ken
so many things are senseless. not only me.

oh lord, there must be something you can say..'-Phil Collins

A truly tragic incident that has left the world in shock. Let us hope this in effect helps the world become more unified and caring. This is already being reflected in international aid and the concern in the blogger world. Let us hope that this incident doesn't die away, and that we continue to do our best to help, whether it's donating, volunteering or simply talking about it, giving our condolences and spreading the news.
BTW love that phil collins song =)
