The Big Bad Wolves

As I sit here in front of my PC sipping my tea and typing, I know in the back of my head that a big bad wolf is out there claiming another victim.

Right now as I type or as you read, I can tell you for a fact that another life fell victim to AIDS. Be it an innocent 9 year old girl who got raped and her bare bruised body strewn across a baren land. Or be it another helpless single mother of 5, now earning as a sex worker to feed those starving mouths.

The very same minute another has been diagnosed as diabetic, or hyperlipidemic or hypertensive. Or has just suffered a massive heart attack or MI. At least one man has lost his life to one of these fatal and dreadfully common diseases. And his family now mourns his death.

In another part of the world, women and children are dying as victims of war. Not because they wanted to fight or wanted to be heroes. But because war found them. Because inhumane war and war crimes spare noone. Be it man, woman or elderly. Be it a mother, child or an infant.

Another teenager has been dragged into the depths of the world of drugs and all that comes with it. Little does he know what lies at the end of the 'rainbow'. How many lives have we seen destroyed in the hands of drugs?

The world has become a monstorous land. Looking into the horizon I see a bleak future. Hopeless for a better tomorrow. Hopeless for a better generation to take over.

The big bad wolves continue their hunt... claiming more victims everyday...
