What am I?
Can i call this a form of poetry? Like abstract poetry or something? haha its just crap. Random ramblings. Yes thats what it is.
The haze in Singapore. Its really heart-wrenching. And these Indonesian forest fires are really miserably sad. Just how many trees are burnt, how many people die/are injured. How many lose their shelter, how many properties are destroyed, how many are further affected by its by-products like haze. Forget about that. How many people have been traumatised by all this suffering? How long exactly does it take for the affected to start leading their lives like before? A year? 2 years? 10 years? A lifetime?
You know the consequences of these unfortunate incidents. They know no boundaries, no race, no religion, no caste. All they have is an intention to cause harm to whoever is in its way. Thats why these natural disasters like Earthquakes, the Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina...in a way it brings people closer but in a really piercing way. Extremely bitter; extremely unforgettable.
And what it has inevitably lead to is a comparison of which country helped more during the other country's times of hardship when the disaster struck. And that has given rise to another set of bitter feelings. Its like...being back to Square One, isn't it? What a waste, okay not in the literal sense. It does provide a very effective short-term relief. You know when financial conditions are considered, 'NO' can never be an answer. But what does it do for the long-term cause??
Okay maybe i should just leave you people to ponder a little about this..hehe...
