Victims

Bob Marley said "How long shall they kill our prophets while we stand aside and look". Lucky Dube said "Little did he (Bob Marley) know that eventually the enemy will stand aside and look as we slash and kill our own brothers". The chorus of Lucky Dube's song goes "We are the victims everytime we got double trouble everytime".

Why do poor and disenfranchised people seem to always turn on each other instead of banding together?
The incidence of violence is always higher in poor communities than in more affluent ones.........from the innercity communities of Kingston Jamaica to the favellas of Sao Paulo Brazil, poor young men seem to have a great propensity for violence. Is it because of joblessness and hopelessness that young men who society says are to become the future providers of the household become frustrated and act out this frustration in binges of violence?

Why can't these young men all over the world start a revolution? a revolution of love and self worth, a revolution with the respect for life at its core. Am I a dreamer? Certainly,am I naive? Maybe! But one thing is certain, revolutions, movements, actions usually start with a dream. Would there be an independent India today if Mahatma Gandhi didn't have a dream?.......hmmmmmm food for thought isn't it, anyway signing off for now it's very late and I've ranted enough for one day.

Love and Peace.
