I had a small moment of wonder at the life of some women that I encounter in my life each day. In a world where the price of survival is increasingly costly I realize that it is no surprise that the life lived by a good few women can be seen as no more than a life of undeniable slavery.
Still looking outward is the easiest means to rationalize a common and increasingly so phenomenon. You may ponder on my particular choice of topic this time and may even become suspicious of any motive imputed or consequential. This by no means whatsoever truly reflects the sad fact that many of our women has become slaves to their situations through a combination of their own fault and that of the persons they interact with: parents and boyfriends foremost.
The following photo captures the unfortunate situation frankly and to keep it hidden is just taboo! When society speaks not of its own circumstances but chooses instead to divert its attention from the human to the mundane then such situation breeds itself and metamorphosize in a subtle insidious manner that wreaks havoc within an unsuspecting community. To tell you the truth, they are a few too many women that depend on the sale of themselves to eat bread on a daily basis.
...or if praying doesn't work there is always this.
It is certainly not funny for me to write or blog about. As a father i live each day with the concern the women in my life though vulnerable does not succumb and my boys do not contribute to such. The picture tells much; women find it hard today to act on faith, the belief that God takes care defeats the need for being patient when the next meal rolls on or for some, when the party seem naught without them.
Imagine that there were two reported rapes in my community within the past three days. Women who tell themselves that such life on the edge of a hard drink is fun and they do have fun; however, unbeknownst to them a predator lurks in the dark waiting to devour to take at whatever cost all that is left. I was told that by inserting Spanish Fly and Ecstasy in their drinks the innocent unsuspecting girls were used only to wake up next day and realize that this was no ordinary hangover nor their usual pain after birth. Sadly there are some who do not mind because this art remains the only means through which they and they children can survive!
Paying a blind eye to such in our society bothers on the hypocritical. We have unfortunately allowed a few so call "good men" to so consume us with their political agenda that we fail to even recognize the real and present dangers that our children are vulnerable too. No one seems to care anymore; our attractions are our bellies, some of us our ears. We have become the internet generation (TIGs) and so many actions become acceptable to us. We do not care about ourselves and on most occasions we project our own lack of self-confidence with a false sense of community, of love!
For me all I can say is that prayer works; many of the vulnerable women are not given the level of acceptance that allows them to hear that call. Too often we look at their own base acts and judge. It is time that we as a nation take notice and use the very actions that these women so love to introduce to them whatever options are available to them.
If we fail the rapes will increase and the sad, unfortunate death of innocent children by even more innocent teen mothers will soon become a norm in our social calender.
I do know however that praying does work.....we need more of our mothers to know that such 'uppity' stance will never dilute God's love for you to have fun too!
...so
when nothing else works there is always this.
