Yesterday's Seeds Today's Harvests

Yesterday they laughed at me to scorn
When I attempted to warn them of the sting
Underneath the bonnets of the wayward skirts

Today I saw them in town
Grieving for one of their own
Who was frozen in a horizontal pose
Too late to change his prose

Uber perceptive Kwegyirba!
Nobody learns anything these days.
The degree of fatalism is simply shocking in the society.
I have personally heard people say 'everybody will die so what difference does it make whether it is today or tomorrow'.
It is so sad.

Yes Enkay.
I certainly could not laugh though.
In my heart I am still crying for the unnecessary deaths to stop.
What can one do except to continue to hope and pray that we all come to realise that there is a merciless killer prowling around the block.
SO TAKE EXTRA CARE!
