Pray

It’s breaking my heart. Literally. I can feel it in my chest. My heart.. is breaking apart; piece by piece, like it is made of glass. With that sick hollow feeling in the stomach, like when you’re watching a very very sad movie. But this is sadder than a sad movie. 

This is real life. And I’m watching from afar, motionless. Helpless. The updates on Twitter and Facebook, with pictures of babies and kids with holes in their body, lying cold and still, yet with such sweet smiling faces. What kind of monster are we dealing with, where’s the humanity? Where’s the compassion? Where’s our powerful people? The ones who can build billions of dollars worth of skyscrapers and buy football teams? I mean, these people can do something about this, can they? Isn’t there anyone going to defend these kids? Sigh.

 

What can I do, what can a mere student like me do to help them in Egypt. 

Well, I guess all I can do right now is pray.
