The Cry of the Innocent
With already 730 children kidnapped since the start of the year, many of them possibly raped and murdered, I have been helplessly reduced to a state of paranoia.
At my 17 years, of what should be “youthful exuberance,” I am forsaken with deep worry for my safety and that of my 12 year old sister and 8 year old brother, who form the formidable forces in my life.
At nights, I shiver with cold fear, despite the warmth of a comforter. Nightmares of dying have never relented at attacking me nights upon end. Like the plagued Israelites, I am now a fragile and frightened child, waiting on our Father in Heaven, to send us that Moses, who will lead us across this bloody Red Sea, which is soon to drown us.
The warped cultural ideas that we have fostered for years, are quickly leading to our own demise. We have never ceased to avenge the alms of evil and to withhold information that could lead to the apprehension of the criminals, many of whom dine with us daily.
Indeed, my Jamaicans, we are allowing ourselves to sink deeper into a manually carved abyss of depravity. We have become infected with the disease of our own selfishness and wickedness and now we are being hunted and eaten alive.
With globalization fiercely encroaching, we are doomed to wither to dead strands. It is not the economic strangulation that will stifle us, but our division as a nation. We have become ripped apart by our own hostile and avaricious plots.
We are no longer “out of many one people,” but out of many one evil we emerge as our own monsters.
I beg every Jamaican, this very moment, to listen to the cry of an innocent 17 year old child, who is solemnly depressed with the decadent state of our country. Jamaicans, stop being hypocrites, I beg you. Stop celebrating us, the children, when you are raping and murdering us daily. Stop harbouring the criminals among you. Speak up, speak out and don’t be afraid.
“Together we all can be strong, through love we can make right all the things that divide us.” Today, let love, peace and unity reign forever and let us vow to preserve our dear Jamaica land of beauty and let us turn to our Heavenly Father above and serve him faithfully. God
bless you!
I am etc.
