How lucky i am, how lucky we are

Watching television, every chanel reports about mountain explosion, tsunami, about disaster.

Reading news paper, every headline says the number of disaster's victims.

Skimming twitter's timeline, almost every single tweet shouts progress report of disaster and it's increasing.

Simply talking with someone:

me: this afternoon i saw my friend was living a quite hard life.

him: wow

me: how lucky i am

him: this evening i saw children were standing near traffic light area, selling for news paper at 9 pm. They're still smiling even laughing.

me: how lucky i am

him: how lucky i am for everything i have.

me: how lucky we are.

Dear God,

Dear Allah,

Please keep us safe. Please keep them safe. Safe from hard life, safe from disaster.

Please God, i'm begging, i'm kneeling..
