Waiting on the world to change

I am tired of the bomb blasts wreaking havoc on the innocent ones. Disrupting life as we know it, creating panic, scrutiny of close friends, fear of the unknown.

I am tired of the traffic jams piling up on the roads and trickling down to every corner of the city. Piling up more and more each day. As pedestrians decrease and the number of cars increase. With no pavements to walk on anyway.

I am tired of the politics at the national level. The mud-slinging, the name calling, the indefinite strikes, the increasing prices.

I am tired of watching ambulances howl in agony whilst standing in the thick of a thicker traffic jam. The almost dead dying inside it while all the anguished well-wishers can do is merely hold their hand and pray that they reach on time.

I am tired of having to read about killings all the time in the papers every morning as I open my eyes. Pictures of mothers bereft of their offsprings, be it man or animal.

I am tired of the prevalent lack of justice in the system today. Where policemen more often than not misuse their powers, and where the innocent ones are more often than not the victims.

I am waiting for the world to change - and doing every bit I can to quicken the process. Because I realized I had two choices - either keep waiting for the world to change, or to lend a helping hand. The choice is ours to make. For me and you. After all, it's one world we have - our world.
