Are these just numbers?

I have just seen a news on the BBC and i just can't write anything at this point. I want all of you to look at this video and ask yourself, how easily we see the figures of the number of people killed everyday, and the number of people injured. Ever thought what lies behind those figures and numbers? For they are not just numbers of people killed, they are families, their relavatives left in despair and the life of those injured people after that incident.

How easily, Israel and Hammas fought a war before the finish of the Bush administration. How easily, they both called ceasefire, just at the time Obama walked in the Office. How easily they just bombarded the entire area leaving, so many people dead, so many injured and so many homeless... Just think for a minute.. are these just numbers?

Fragile Dreams...

In the midst of the darkest dreams,
That sometimes, still haunts me,
I get up in the middle of the night and pray,
Oh God, take the evil away.

Aggression, depression and anger, still pave their way,
But somewhere inside us, a voice comes and says,
No matter where we may stay,
This will go away.

Hunger, yearning and poverty, ever heard a poor man’s dream?
So simple and fragile it seems,
Sometimes, I wonder, where their life has been,
But wisdom and hope I can still see.

Amusing, entertaining and diverting, are the kids you see,
Playing around the corner of the street,
So full of life they seem,
Ever thought, what lies behind them is reality!

Aspiration, ambition and longing do they even know their meanings?
For they are the words, not meant for them,
Still how astonishing to see, how they juggle each day,
Hope comes and sinks again and again.

For dream, imagination and reverie, needs no boundaries,
Impossible is nothing, until you believe,
And we all know, that they say,
When there is will, there is a way.
