I can't sleep The horrible news is bothering me My fellow Filipinos in Marawi Are being attacked by Maute Group/ISIS They are burning down the place The houses, the hospitals, the churches And if you can't prove that you are a Muslim They'll take you as a hostage Those who don't wear hijabs "are taken care of" Horrible, really horrible My fellow filipinos there are suffering Muslims and non-muslims It's not supposed to be about religion It's supose to be being people, human It's suppose to be "humanity" *"Save me from people of the world" Psalm 17:14 It's horrible, really horrible. How can these people be so cruel?? It's really scary, really scary*

Pray for Marawi
whats up with the world tweeting “humans but no humanity” and ranting about violence and terrorist attacks sweeping the country one city at a time? it’s awkwardly funny when we think violence is just about all these massive issues - terrorism and **** because haven’t you been told? no matter how big or small, violence is still violence. now we say there’s too little of love left in the world but we don’t even care to look at ourselves in the mirror first before expressing these sentiments. you say there’s not much of it left? how can there be any more of it when we can’t even forgive our enemies. how can it be when instead of praying for the people we hate, we stab them repeatedly in the back with our words, gossips, and senseless accusations. how can it be when we try so hard to be the “good one” but really we’re all just seeking for attention. it ***** to see all of us etching words in these social media platforms about love and humanity when we barely even walk our talks. love starts with the way we treat those around us. after all, we’re all just a bunch of feel-good hypocrites. P.S. i used the word ‘we’ to be collective and inclusive of myself
