Dear Demons

November 23, the day of the Maguindanao Massacre.

It was Monday and I was very clueless. I was unaware on what happened in my island, Mindanao. Not until I read the news, “At least seven witnesses have reportedly surfaced to back up the multiple murder complaint filed Thursday before the Department of Justice (DoJ) against Mayor Andal Ampatuan Jr. of Datu Unsay town in Maguindanao who was tagged as principal suspect in the massacre of at least 57 people in the outskirts of Ampatuan town last Monday.” (By DAVID CAGAHASTIAN and PHILIPPINE NEWS AGENCY)

Again, another dreadful and remarkable experience happened in the Philippines that brought Filipinos down to its knees.

Who would ever think? 57 heartbeats were suddenly eradicated, breathes abruptly stopped, 57 lives were sent to heaven and 57 souls were screaming for justice.

What are bothering inside me now are the deprived families of the victims. What’s really in my head right now is a picture of a kid, crying and begging for the lost family to come back. Wishing for a time machine and flashback all the disastrous experience. Isn’t it heart-breaking? How about the dreams and hopes of the victims? How about the pleasure, the beauty and the gift of life? How could someone take a life without even thinking? I mean, why don’t they put their selves in victim’s shoes? OR RATHER KILL THEIR f&5#c#5k SELVES? WHY DON’T THEY DO THAT TO THEIR SELVES? So they won’t fright other lives. It’s like they’re taking all. Everything. Including their soul- blazing in hell.

Forgiveness is not incorporated in this issue. How would you let off those demons if they’re not even worthy to be forgiven? They cannot mend the wounds that they have caused the grieving family. I doubt why they were given a space here in the World. A world full of love. They don’t even deserve to be here. They are only bringing up a picture of brutality here in the Philippines. A filthy image and a pitiful country. For just a stupid reason-POWER they were able to bargain 57 lives. How selfish they were.

What happened in the Maguindanao is now part of a tragic history. We can never take back the lives that were already slaughtered.

As united Filipino youths, let’s not wait for another massacre to come for us to realize the value of life. WE OUGHT TO MOVE NOW and seek for JUSTICE! I care. WE CARE.

Let's continue praying for the Justice.
