Do good citizens have to sacrifice their lives

For us to wake up from our sleep?

Do things have to shock us

In order for us to change?

Do we have to experience with our eyes

How dark a situation can get?

Before we can say “Enough is enough -

We don’t want this any more!”?

Is it necessary for them to endure such horrific suffering

For us to do something?

Is it because we need to care more

For each other

And help each other more?

Do we need this for our evolution

To take us all to a higher point

When we cannot bear their suffering

As much as our own?

Is all this darkness necessary

Will all this take us into the light?

How many more years would it take

For this situation to get easier?

If there is anything good that can come out of this

Please may it be soon.
