*La Magia del Mondo...e Me!*

Che effetto vi fa un mondo che ammazza il suo future?
Inspired by a newspiece on TV these days…

I am the enemy, I want to destroy you, I could kill you, but that does not make the news anymore. I want to hurt you to be in the news so I could kill you, but that’s old now, I could rape your wives, but that’s already been done, I could give you an electric shock and drop you to your knees, but that’s not painful enough. In this world today a broken smile no longer counts for much, not even the innocent smile of a child. There’s your soft spot. How about your children? That’s who I have to hurt to hurt you. I’ll kill your child, stop the future.

This year has been the worst after many. When was the last time that so much death in the news stopped your stomach jumping as it became the norm? When was the last time the news was absent from suffering? When was the last time you read international crisis articles to the end?

In this world where over 30 wars are currently being fought over 500 children die every day. 500,000 infant soldiers fight, hundreds of thousands die of AIDS, poverty, starvation, is that not enough? No you have to see me find my way into your lives, into your news to see me steal sweets from your children, or worse even give sweets to your children for them to like me and in their innocence trust me, just for me to betray their trust and scar them for the rest of their life. This year was the year of Bezlan, I am a terrorist, you know something, my hurt didn’t skip a beat. Did yours? Did you do something about it? Did you even stop to listen? Stop to pray? Stop to thank the world for being unharmed, untouched, stopped to thank that your child is fine!

Think about it, how much is it harming us? Do we realise how far near rock bottom we’ve reached? For how long will this continue? What effect does a world that kills its future have on you?
