Ten years ago
We passed the church in Negombo.
It was a sleepy little place,
Where the pace of life was slow
On an island that had just found peace
After years of horror.
And now this.
I feel I am enshrouded in cotton wool,
But there is no comfort in that.
There is only numbness and sorrow.
But how can I speak of unspeakable things?
And what gives me the right to try?
Beautiful island, the shape of a teardrop.
Weep for Her.

It is not just the horror of these attacks that boggles the mind, it is the futility. Other than lashing out in blind hatred, what is the point?

Quite so. No one can possibly benefit from them.

A very touching post, Mick. It is so sad, and so pointless. Sometimes I just don’t understand people.
