Why

5 years ago. Thursday, June 4, 2020 at 3:22 AM

I spoke to a friend yesterday here husband was working abroad at the start of the pandemic, he never got home before the lock down, 5 months since she has last seen him - they only have been married 12 months.

People are suffering, people are dying, people are grieving, but unable to pay their last respects.

Violence erupts over the senseless death of a man worldwide.

People look to gain political points based on criticism. 

We are in such a delicate balance at the moment.

I have seen some of the worst humanity has to offer, I have witnesses institutionalised racism.

All I ask is why, why does a death or crisis need to happen before peoples voices are heard.

Why is is that Politicians want to score points by attacking each other rather than seeking a uniformed response today's problems.

Yes I agree that #blacklivesmatters but I also believe #alllivesmatter.

We all have a responsibility to be actively anti racist.

But this conversation has been going on for some many years, will I ever see it change?

 

Ok rant over
