why the violence...?

so you can.....

- write-----to people: your boss, your president, your religious leaders, to the media, your "wakil rakyat" (hah!), to Oprah (well...who knows?), to your children (or grand children), to your lover, to God, or even to yourself. A lot of times people might not pay attention, but the whole universe is watching you know....
BUT don't write on people's heart using grief.

- believe-----in your family, your country, your faith, your angels, your saints, your god, yourself....
BUT don't believe to the calling for sanctity that demands others' life.

- paint------on canvas, on sand,on paper, on glass, on wood, on the walls (wherever you're permitted to do it), on ice....
BUT don't paint on people's heart with blood.

- sing------about your life, your sadness, your happiness, about angels, your family, your faith, your country, your pet, your best friend, your job, your loneliness, about God, your mistake, your achievements, your love, about anything....
BUT don't sing it to my face with terror on your face.

- pray------about absolutely everything....
BUT why need to pray to a god who vouch for hatred?

- light up candles for the night, or fireworks to lit the sky, or firecrackers if you like it louder....
BUT NOT bombs!! because they make the night even darker, the sky even paler, and the world even more silent.

So I write, I believe,
I paint, I sing,
I pray,
I light up candles....
....for those life who'd been taken mercilessly
....for their families to still take heart
....for you, whoever you who did it,
I pray that God forgive your reason, whatever it is.
