War

Some time ago the news reported a bomb threat by some bastards, and our city is included. I was like "What the hell?!" When I heard about it... I don't know, I sense things will get worse here on in.

Yesterday we celebrated Filipino day, and I was "hit" by the sayawit performance. There was this guy minding his own business, and a rebel walked around him...He then whispered something to his comrade, and he shot him dead. That scene really opened my eyes to the horror of mindless killing. With just one tiny bullet, the man's life was gone. One bullet, thousands of tears shed by his loved ones and friends. One bullet, one life. "How could he do such a nefarious thing?!" I thought to myself. Then I thought, what if it gets like that around here too?..

I dont know what reason the rebels have for targetting cities to bomb. I dont know their reason for going up against the government, and hell, I DONT CARE...
Why must people die, then? Especially if they've done nothing! While those rebels are fighting their war, other people are losing their homes, children are losing their futures, and others are losing their lives. They cannot and should not force other people to go along with their plans, because that would make them as corrupt as the people who hurt them.

Time and again, I've heard the line "why must people die?" over and over. At first, I thought this was a naive line which could be shrugged off by saying "there's no choice." Well, I realize the horror of it now. People, dying for no reason. People who did nothing to hurt those bastard rebels are being hurt. They had nothing to do with all the mess and they're paying for it. What the hell is that?! It's insanity!!

There are people who want war, but there are also those who dont. I dont understand the rebels' reasons, and hell I dont want to either. Why would I want to when innocent people are dying? It may sound cheesy, but if it happened to you or your friends, it wont be so cheesy anymore.

Maybe this wont end anytime soon, but still, I pray it'll end soon.
