 The World is Watching The world is watching, while we are crying the world is watching, while we are dying while people from outside named the Laskar Jihad are killing my people drive them apart and when they murder, they do it extra ordinary pieces of body's you will find everywhere. these useless war separate family's, even man and wife intrude with madness, destroying many lives the Laskar Jihad don't care if you are an innocent kid nor either if you are old and helpless or sick. The Indonesian army have taken part in this strive don't protect the native people when they run for their live they are the one who start the many attacks while the Laskar Jihad follow them, that's an awful impact with automatic weapons, rackets and grenades against my people who defend themselves with weapons the've made by themselfe as guns, arrows and bows isn't this destruction of people, isn't this mean and very low and yet the world is watching us, while we are crying yes the world is watching us, while we are dying. Charisma please pray for the Moluccan people, the plan is to destroy all the Christians before Christmas. Don't let this happen. ~Theresia~ |

Oh, dearest Charisma~ How sad ... how sad. Would that peace could be upon this world and that the only arms brother would take up against each other would be the arms of love. How I cry for the plight of your people. I pray God ... to stop this treacherous slaughter. *Hugs* for this write, my friend. Continue to reach out and tell the world ... for too often we do not truly see the tragedy of others. *For your 1000th post ... I am thankful that you are safe to write it. God bless. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Charisma I feel so bad that your people are being abused so terribly and I'm so glad that you make the points that you do. The world sadly does sit around and watch as these terrible acts of inhumanity continue and I don't know what to say other than my prayers are with them and hope they will find relief soon...I'm very happy for you to make it to your 1000th post I have enjoyed reading your work...I just wish it could be on a happier note..take care...ethome |

Charisma, The tragedy of it all is that most people on earth do not really care about what is happening there. I get so upset and frustrated that in an age where we have the weapons of peace "Dialogues" that governments like the Indonesians keep getting away with such atrocities. It is baffling to also find such great NGOs who profess that they work in the name of peace, keep achieving nothing to stop the hurting and the pain the innocents endure. Good on you for your wonderful message. Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
