Bloody Blast

Today Straits Times had 8 pages packed with horrendous pictures and articles of the Bali blast. Few nights ago I saw it on the news. The number of bodies charred, unidentifiable littered the streets of the holiday island. Video footage showed what the island was before as in the eyes of tourists: holiday-makers dancing, partying with drinks in hand, all with smiles on their faces as they looked into the camera. This was contrasted by scences displayed next..flattened buildings, military troops on the rescue pulling bodies out. These bodies are not the usual 'hands by their sides, lying flat on their back with look of peace on their face' , the deceased have limbs frozen at motion-less positions sticking up into the air. This could only mean one thing: totally burnt dried into the resulting form. Nobody looks into the camera, people who ran past the camera had terror in their eyes. What have they witnessd? What have they seen that put those look into their eyes? You know how disturbed you can get when you look at someone's face who've seen things that shook them up. Even though you may not set your eyes on what they've seen, just by looking at their face is enough to spook you. I stare awestruck at all the news I could watch, any news that could give any info or differnt views. Maybe, just maybe knowing that little more could take away this fear thats brewing inside of me. Incidents like these are just plain human suffering, for the victims themselves as well as loved ones.
For those whose hands did these, pray hard for mercy.
