Boko Haram

In 2014  276 girls were kidnapped from a boarding school in Nigeria.

The world is equipped with the most powerful armies
The most impressive war machines
The most amazing technologies for warfare

And yet no one cared
No one save parents seemed to even blink about it

No one semed to take it too personal

It's just some random girls; after all

Too far away to matter to most people

But

What if these were your children?

What would you do if they were?

What would you do?

It's 2 years now

And still no one seems to care

No one that matters

No one that has the power to do things

Or so it seems

Have we all forgotten the power of one

of the communal one

That gains birth from a singular

one

Who believes enough

Who is willing to sacrifice enough

Sometimes one is enough

Sometimes more ones are needed

So let me ask you.

Are you one?

Or none

Absolutely none

Be one to something

Be one to someone

Bigger than you

Bigger than the ones you love alone

Be one for a cause that can change the world

Who better than you to do it?

"The answer my friend

Is blowing in the wind" - Bob Dylan

The fact that this song is just as appropriate now as it was 50 years ago.

Just proves that we haven't evolved

Science has evolved

Technology has evolved

Yet we as humans

Are the same selfish stupid defeated assholes

We've always been

Suckling at the feet

Of all the wrong things in life

Lust/untamed desire

Greed

Money

Power

Prestige

Acceptance from fools

False glory

When does it end?

When do we open our eyes

As a world

As a society

To the real glory

Of love

Of selflessness

Of godliness

Of sacrifice

Humility

Acceptance

And forgiveness

When do we allow ourselves

To love and be loved

Always

At all times

Don't let fear stop you

Don't let fear rule your life

Don't let the "monsters"

Steal your life

They will always be there

Fear

Anger

Desire

Betrayal

Despair

Until you finally decide

To just let it go

And find your peace of mind

Your true inner peace
