I am tired.
Tired of war.
Tired of anger.
Tired of death.
Tired of lives lost.
Tired of hope destroyed.
Tired of unnecessary grief.
Tired of the destruction of well-being.
Tired of forced migration.
Tired of tears.
Tired of children living in tents, denied the childhood they deserve.
I am tired of the political excuses offered for war.
I am tired of racial hatred.
I am tired of human lust for power wrapped up in theocracy.
I am tired of talk of defence that excuses aggression.
I am tired of biased reporting
I am tired of being told that people who have died on one side of a dispute are lives lost and that on the other, they are just killed.
I am tired of a failure to recognise that any life lost unnecessarily is just that: it is a life lost unnecessarily.
I am tired of the belief that war will ever solve anything.
I am tired of the assumption that after war everything will go back to normal.
I am tired of the cost of conflict always being borne by anyone but those who started it.
I am tired of those who think we don’t have a duty of care to everyone, whoever they are, wherever they come from, whatever they believe, whatever their skin colour, whatever their gender, whatever their age.
I am tired of those who think that others don’t matter.
Most of all, I am tired of those who destroy hope,
I live in hope.
Hope of a better day.
Hope of a better life for everyone.
Hope that I might live to see that.
Hope that everyone might then share hope.
Is that too much to hope for?
