What a Wonderful World

I dream of a wonderful world. But it remains a dream.

The last month took me so far away from it. It is not enough that the news is filled with images of starving people and terrified children everywhere. The last month we witnessed a massacre, hundreds of innocent lives and children dead or mutilated by the ugly war. And me with my simple brain was just sitting there shedding tears and wondering how can the world leaders stand still and watch all that happen. If you were a man/woman of power and were able to make a and influence a change would you have stood still and watched thousands of people barricaded and then bombed to their death? Would you have stood still and watched infants being burnt to death or disfigured? And if you were an ordinary person walking down the street and saw a man attacking a child would you just stand still?

And yet the world stood still while all those crimes and more were committed in Gaza under our eyes.

I would just like to scream at every politician :"Save the children"
