Today, I feel for two young boys i've never met.

It reminded me of this story
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/7291985.stm
One that touched me personally, through friends of mine.
The idea's of mutual respect and love are not preached.
In modern day 'masculinity' we see men taking on the role of a degrader of women, of people they consider physically weaker than themselves.
That young boy pleaded 'let me die'.
A ten year old, stripped naked covered in blood in a field ready to face his mortality.
To meet his end at the hands of brutal twisted distortions that once had the opportunity to dream.
How does this happen, why do some feel so much hatred for those different to them?
Why does the unknown scare some of us so much we feel the need to terrorize and degrade others?
Some people merely say, 'that's just human nature'.
Well, to that I frankly call 'bullshit'.
Thats no race i'm a part of nor would ever want to be a part of, and for those of us who believe in a maker, no maker would deserve praise for making all of us inherently murderous savages.
I refuse to believe that the same race that has created so much beauty from their own hands, you and I, are inherently bad.
These boys had been torturing their chosen prey for months yet government says 'there's nothing we could have done to prevent this'.
If there's nothing you can do to help the suffering children of your nation, then please...
Cease to exist.
If there is nothing you can do with your money, give it to the people who can help.
Times like this make us forget that the good people of the world without question outweigh the bad.
There is so much generosity in so many hearts I have met in so many faces and so much kindness I have seen in so many eyes.
The self-rewarding nature and heavy taxation, and policing of schools of the past 20 years of Government has caused a a most damaging blow to the souls of man. Their total disrespect for the matters of the spirit and of the heart have only worsened the humanity of the people. Turning them from the people into 'The Masses.'
The Government has created a state of 'Malaise', this large scale apathy has always opened the doors for mass-scale inhumanity. When the people are told the problems they have not created our theirs and a state of disorientation follows, such confusion usually turns to pointless, mindless acts of violence. (E.g the paddling/ beating up of Freshman In late 1970's America.)
They use the mentality in schools, and in local communities "If you don't have 1, you can't get 2, and if you don't have 2 well you can't get 3, and if you don't have three...well you'd better off yourself now."
Is it that we have become so dehumanized by the ritualistic degradation of government that young children have become such beasts?
We must say not first to our oppressors, but to ourselves, "We are free men", "Free unto ourselves, to express and to achieve any desire that we might so wish." I do not say that, only, for my age group or Nationality.
I say it for all the children in all the schools of the world who's hearts beat to the sound of a free drum. To the call of the human spirit.
I think I have an answer to this, laugh it off if you may, it is you who will be proven wrong.
The answer, is art.
Is art necessary? No.
If by the standard of 'necessary' you mean food and water.
Fruit is not 'necessary' either, but it does us much good.
Art is the fruit of the soul.
It nourishes us, and guides us, it gives us light through the darkness our eyes cannot see, and gives us humanity and the ability to feel others pains and hopes as though they were our own.
If these children were introduced to the paintings of great artists, or the work of great directors perhaps this would have not happened.
Certainly, Art needs to be held in higher esteem for in ancient Greece (Where art was comparable to religion) such acts of Barbarism were few and far between.
With the Pilot Light, for those of you out there who feel like there are others who hate you, who try to hurt you and sting you with their every word. I want to make a shield for all of you, one made out of love and hope, something the bastards can never take from us.
All my thoughts and prayers to those young boys and their families.
Stargazer.
