The Cries of Parents and Guardians!
The Constant Loss of Young Lives
Our world seems to be changing right in front of our very eyes when it comes to the loss of life of our youths.
Years ago or when I was growing up, it use to be a cultural norm of our elderly family members; speaking of mothers and fathers, grandmothers and sometimes great grandparents, telling their children and grand children the fashion in which they would like to be buried, since it was quite certain that the young would bury the old. But, a surprising shock has hit the minds and hearts of these mothers and grand mothers after it seems to becoming a norm that they are the ones who will be ending up burying their children instead.
Children are being killed for one reason or there other, and there are no prejudices when it comes to the sex either.
One advertisements shockingly states; "I am only sixteen years-old and I have been to six of my friends funeral already!"
This has become the reality and the norm in our society today and in many countries of the western regions of the world. And it seems like none of our leaders are doing anything about this painful dilemma of thousands of parents laying their young children to rest.
"I mean, the cry of death is everywhere!"
"As soon as one child is buried then another one gets knock down! And I am tired of seeing the sorrowful look of distress on the faces of some of these mothers and guardians which I sometimes refuse from comforting. Not because my heart is hard, but because I know my words will never ease the pain they are enduring or bring their child back from the dead!"
These frequent acts of senseless killings has become a pattern in our society today that it has desensitized the hearts of many, both young and old, but especially the young. Causing many to get excited whenever they hear word of someone's death, immediately, prompting them to start thinking about what style they will be wearing to the disease funeral, as though, they were excited about going to a party or a football match.
When will the relevant government bodies stand up and say enough is enough, and do something to curve these senseless killings happening among the youths?
I am pretty much aware, that our leaders and politicians are not capable to going house to house; to parent each child in a household. But they can certainly do something about the illegal guns available for sales on the streets or entering the various countries affected by these criminal acts of death frequently occurring around us. And they could also give longer sentences for those sexually abusing children and then snuffing out their lives just to cover their crime or to keep their victims eternally silent.
If they are unable to do something about this very serious problem then who will?
And if you as leaders are not convicted or troubled by this reality of numerous parents burying their children, then something is terrible wrong with you, and you are certainly in the wrong business of leadership and governance.
Under no normal circumstances, should any parent be placing their gift from the womb into a tomb.
Their loving blessing of a life be quickly cemented into a coffin.
Or, the greatest gift from the Creator being carried off by pallbearers into an early grave leaving many hearts broken and mothers eyes weeping.
