Hotel Rwanda

Saw Hotel Rwanda last night in Star Movies, yup a bit late to catch up on such a hit movie but then not many theatres were screening it and missed it while it got released. Anyways very touching movie , loved it .

Left me wondering, yet again, why men hurt each other, why people spend lives gathering money for the I, why they hoard money for I's family, why they are worried only about the I. Sometimes I feel capitalism is bad, till everyone is assured of one square meal a day, peace and good education others mustnt be allowed to hoard wealth.

Wrote this poem after seeing the movie, did not come out well but dint try to complete it, this is what immediately flowed out after seeing the movie.

Cant you see heaven crying
For having created you without forewarning
Cant you see your grandsons blood drying
Shot by someone whom his grandfather's murder is avenging

Cant you see that you are prolonging this agony
Transferring it to your and their progeny
Cant you realize that this is felony
Stop laughing for this aint funny

Maybe conscience hurts only the first time you err
But then dont humans realize follies and become better
How could you hurt someone for in color he differs
How could you hurt someone for in looks he is not what you prefer

An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
So stop this stupidity and with humanity bind
If only we could respect people for being people
If only we could love people for being people
If only we could be people .....

I strongly hope and pray that I do something worthwhile for my fellow earthians before i hit my grave.

cheers,
