There is blood everywhere,
there is war somewhere – peace has forever been an elusive existence, only
dropping by on the eve of destruction. There is too much being shed on the
global scene and children are growing never having known a semblance of serenity.
When you come up against the
God of War you should know that resistance is futile, just as dry cloth first
resists water but inevitably succumbs to the rain, Ares assuredly comes to
claim his victory.
Il y a du sang partout!
The Ghost of Sparta killed
his wife&daughter and then sought revenge on his master, Ares, the
erstwhile god of war for deceiving him to commit the murder. Kratos exerted his
revenge with a hand from Athena and another from the troubles in the Box of
Pandora, to became the God of War! The Ghost of Sparta’s was an existence of
revenge and seeking freedom: from his Ascension to the Chains of Olympus, from
Betrayal to his Rise as The Warrior, blood followed Kratos and not even the
cities of Attica were spared.
God of raW: Bashar Al-Assad?
The Syrian civil war has
been described by sources including Aljazeera as “the deadliest conflict the 21st
century has witnessed so far”. Resentment driven by “lack of Freedom”, economic
strife and outrage from the “crackdown” on Syrians bringing the Arab Spring
through the Southern City of Deraa are reportedly the blades that slit the
first wrists. The bloodshed rages, six years on and Russia, America, Turkey,
Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia have turned Syria into a proxy battlefield. These
members of the international community, amongst others, have had a hand in
death of “more than 465,000 Syrians” and in making “over 12 million Syrians”
homeless in their own home.
Peace talks and Geneva
conventions have crashed and burnt while “one of the largest exoduses”,
according to BBC, in the modern era unfolds. From
Aleppo and Deir Az Zor to Damascus, the situation in Syria is sad and
disgraceful. Let us forget who is to blame but remember that two wrongs do not
make a right and three certainly make no sense.
About half of Syria’s
refugees are children, “2.4 million”, and so my wonder is who or what the Sunni
and Shia Alawite are fighting for. Tomorrow
should always to be for the children and the time
for this aging generation to live the high
life is gone. The goal of the
day should be a better tomorrow, for the children of today to live in peace and
for us, when we are weak and frail, that there may be the calm and resources
for our care.
Elements of tomorrow are in the air, but you need to understand the chemistry. Reports have it that the ‘chemical weapons’ red line has been crossed, this has now truly gone beyond mortal warfare.
