Dangerous Ideas
Beware!
It’s not the knives
Nor guns
It is not religion
And it’s not a gender war!
It is hamartia
The tragic flaw that humanity suffers from
This violence emanates from our mind
A trickle of dangerous ideas that if not curbed
Turns into this torrent of hateful differences
In which…
I see someone looking through your bloodshot eyes
And by the time
This realisation, “It is me”, hits
It’s too late!!
I have killed
Yes, I’ve shut your eyes
Cause, I had shut mine!!
Why there’s so much hatred in this world?
Two separate stabbing incidents, one in a shopping mall and one in a church has shaken us in Sydney. The question “why” is being answered by police, psychologists, bystanders, academics, yes, one was an attack on women, yes, but a nine-month-old child, and her young mother? Not even known to the killer. There are 5 women and a security guard dead, plus the killer, who was finally shot, and the second one was a terrorist attack, a 16-year-old troubled youth attacked a man of cloth, in the church, and the reason was, as such senseless killings are, to terrorise, to tell the world, something, or to make a point!
But what?
I’m not sure!!
