Ons Hart

In de moedige leegte van ons hart

verslinden we duistere monsters

aanbidden we engelen ver weg.

In het diepe kamertje van ons hart

verbergen we geheimen

roepen we zacht.

In het kleinste deeltje van ons hart

schuilt ons geweten altijd juist

maar niet altijd op kracht.

Her life story devastated me.
She made a bad decision and had to pay for it for the rest of her short life.
Reaching out on the internet as her last hope she didn't found relief, but got pushed down even more.

This 'lesson' as we like to call it afterwards has been teached to us a 1000 times.
Everytime it sticks with us for a couple of hours, or even minutes but then we rapidly forget about it as something more temporary interesting comes along.
What about the kids in the video of rise against 'Make it stop'? did we forget about them?
All she wanted was someone to be there for her to talk to. Someone to give her a hug and tell her it's gonna be alright.
Nobody did.
And why?
I guess each and every one of us probably found it more amusing to go with everyone else then risk our own reputation.
Because that's so goddamn valuable to us isn't it?

Think about this before you laugh at people or before you call them names...
Before you do those things and afterwards think to yourselves you shouldn't have done them.

Think before you act.
