Innocence
Lost Its 3:03am Thursday 27 July 2006 morning and my mind is unforgivably restless tormenting me with images I saw the afternoon before. At around 4:36 pm Wednesday 26th 2006 while preparing to leave from a fulfilling day at work my attention and curiosity was drawn by a fellow co-worker expressing disgusts at the leaked clip of the Daton rape scandal. Me of curious nature asked to be shown the clip, I was warned “Drev you not gonna be the same after you watch this” I looked at my co-worker with surprise and wondered how bad could it be; I clicked starting the clip I was again warned by the caption preceding the film then the clip started. I am not the same. Screams I will spare you the grim details of the clip, but I cannot get the screams of that 13 year old child out of my head, it broke my heart; that is somebody’s child; that girl is someone’s princess. Jamaica what have we become? Who the hell do we think we are? Where are our morals? Speechless after watching the under 2 minute clip, I carefully took my keys from the desk and headed to the car, somewhere between that short journey I broke down and tears ran down my cheeks, I am forever scared, I feel hatred, yeah HATRED, it hurts me to say this but I feel hatred towards the person who made this happen, hatred towards the persons that defended this act. I do not have any children nor do I have a sister but I do have a niece and a nephew among other children that I care about in my life. And I fear for them growing up in this cruel world.
Hug your children People I’m
begging you all a favor hug your children the next chance you
get (no matter the age), tell them they are beautiful, tell them
they are handsome, tell them you love them; pray for God’s
guidance to carry them through this world, safely and thank the
lord for every night you spend with them . |
