Hell break loose...again

Another bombing, after Bali and now Jakarta.......people died knowing without any reason. Being the sacrifice but not knowing for what reason. Their loved ones who left behind cries, it's unfair....as they cries. Right now some of them still questioning their God in their prayer. While the other might have lost their faith in God....

Imagine this, when their loved one died in such horrible way. Their beloved wondering why they have to die in such way. Right now they didn't know where to stand. Their children wondering why there were so many people dressed in black and cries in their house. Right now, a mother takes a look at his boy and doesn't have any idea how she can afford his future....even some people ask why God remain silent... Those familiar prayer whisper from their mouth...

I remember when one day one of my friend drop by and he brought with him some documentary movies on the riot act in Poso and Ambon.. Even now... Still...., I can draw the image of the slaughter, When we watched the videos and the photos... All we can see is blood and smoke...we can smell them., For God sake.., they're slaying children. And they were brothers back a while. They killing each other for an undefined cause.. an unsolved riddle. We stood there watching those pictures... Then me and my friends looked at each other and we didn't have to spit the words out....everything began to make sense..., they are not human.

I had the stomach to watch the slaughter, but not my conscience...

Yet, those AK - 47 still swarming blood thirsty bullets in Iraq and Aceh, The Israeli tanks bursting missile to Palestine houses, yet, those damn terrorist sworn for their own justice. blood for blood, an eye for an eye, they claimed to have their own reason. And this whatever it is, their reason takes lives !!. Maybe they just trying to give the angel of death an overtime jobs !!, And the fact that the " real terrorist " is standing there untouchable makes me sick !!...Reason ??, Answer ??...., you can say everything happens for a reason. But I just didn't understand, why humans have to take others life, why humans hurts others feeling for a certain goal. You can bet that they have their own answer to my question..., but I just didn't understand, I will never be able to understand....
