Where is Humanity?

The events which took place in a village near Sialkot moved me to tears of frustration and anger. Nowadays the newspapers are full of violence all over the world. Murder, mayhem, hunger, rape and hate.
Today while praying I just felt soo hopeless and helpless and I asked Allah where are you? why are you not helping the helpless and I screamed at him to tell me where he was and than I heard a voice in my heart which said to me. It was not his duty to help and protect us, it was our own duty to protect the defenseless. It was our duty to do help the helpless and the feeble and the weak.
Yes, we all question what can we do in such reckless times, when Humanity seems to have died. I guess the answer is that yes we cannot change the world but we can change our selves give a little bit of our time and energy to do good. Every small thing helps. Mothers can raise their kids to be better more thoughtful individuals. WE can volunteer our time with organizations if not money. Just pull along and do a little bit, because every little bit helps

Where is our Humanity?
A ricochet Bullet at the corner
Pierced through is ribs,
went through the mothers heart.
Blood splewed everywhere
They came in droves
to break their bones,
Broken limbs,
fractured skulls
Brains frying on the side walk
She was left looking at their pictures flashing on the screen,
What was she to do to protect her babies...
Killing, Murder, blood...
Is this the solution ?
Where is our humanity?
In such reckless times
Death seems like a bliss.
