VOICE OF THAT SILENT CURSE

Years filled with displaced people, broken apart traumatised innocent families, in many cases, the one and only homes people ever knew is demolished.

Nothing in this belligerent world is left to shatter anymore. Those silent curses are forced down from those forlorn Fugitives fleeing bloodshed hostility. Imagine the cursed life of that refugee, in a blink of an eye, their entire existence vanishes. There loved one their life there happiness is decimated under the smoke of terror. Imagine the unforgettable pain, when every scar screams pain of eternity. It gets harder every second where the brain stops sustaining logic. Actions infused life is long forgotten.

The time when darkness arrives and the rest of subsistence seems empty. The temptation to curse becomes quite huge.

Some eyes hindering to collect sensibility in these curses are taking basic privileges for granted. The privilege of living life, devouring pabulum and simply possessing those magic ladders and ropes of opportunity to take themselves out of misery.

Is it too much to ask for? Doesn’t every human being deserves to live a peaceful life with basic functionalities? I think those curses are justified when other mortal beings are hellbent on destroying every damn thing they love. Every damn thing they desire. And the process increases the thirst for power and enforcement. They complicate the matter even further and take unwanted revenge in every possible way. I think the main moral dilemma here is that the observer has made peace with the unacceptable as May Sarton states it.

Every single day the media acknowledges the suffering, the pain, the misery, the agony yet no one seems concerned.

All the inculcated moralities appear futile. How do these demons sleep at night after destructing innocent whimpers? How do these monsters eat after starving naive children? How do they face themselves knowing they killed a mother, a daughter, a wife, a sister. It’s amazing how these devils are camouflaging right under our skin shredding humanity piece by piece?

The world is full of people where their rapacity for territorial gain, economic gain, in the name of fake religion, in the preview of nationalism, in the craving for revenge pathetic conflicts have arisen. Those confused civilians are pushed to live dismal life. An ambience filled with fear, to lose everything around. It is heart-wrenching to see that a conflict between a few poor excuses of humans leads to a disastrous future.

The most harrowing thing is that when they flee the warzone country, their existence was neglected. Even though when people in Mexico are forced to live in one of the deadliest conflict zones in the world as an independent newspaper suggested in 2017. The world richest and powerful country refuses to offer assistance. The hardship does not end here when the congresswoman gave a heartbreaking speech where she said women who were detailed in us Mexico border were pushed to drink from toilets when the sinks were not working. Humanity is dying people are being raped, killed, torn away from their families. And refugees are considered an expensive burden for the people who are responsible for putting those people in affliction in the first place.

You know what is not expensive not bombing them. Not showcasing a public display of hatred by terrorism, Not displacing people from their beloved homeland and forcing them to silently curse the cruel ones for perpetuity.
