Traitor in the midst


Social networks are the only venue I have to rant and vent whatever heartaches I may have. Aside from doing needle work or crochet, or reading a book or using a hammer and fix what needs to be fixed inside this house - the social networks have been a valuable lifeline for me. I'm on the lookout for a job still, always keeping a positive outlook no matter how hard it is for me. I listen to other people's problems, I try to cheer them up or at least be a shoulder for them to lean on. I know how it feels to be alone in a roomful of people. I know how it is to be gagged. 

In my posts, it is unavoidable that the focus of my rant comes out. Because he is the reason I am suffering and suffering for my children and why my children are not getting the sort of life and childhood they truly deserve. They have been robbed of it, deprived of it and denied a childhood they can tell their children about. 

Some people, perhaps; think that it is all just "fun and games" for me to vent. It is not a shallow topic when lives of children are concerned. When their future is at stake. I have been pushed into a corner, beaten psychologically into submission, threatened with abandonment if I were to have my way, my rightful place and what is legally mine. I have been very quiet on the outside, and my only sounding board is the social network which I thought would be with TRUSTED people. People who KNEW what was right from wrong, not for me but for my kids or any child who had a father such as this one. 

Yes he provides. Yes he pays for all the bills. Its only natural that he does since I'm not working. But in saying that, he has no right to deprive us all and make us live in accordance to how he wants us to "have" based on what he is prepared to "share" with his own flesh and blood. And even when I was working, my measly salary went to what he could not provide or refused to provide these kids - a childhood. A weekend out of the house, malling, watching a movie in a decent theater and not some pirated DVD, eating decent food in a restaurant or a fast food and having fun with each other, visiting a museum, walking around parks.... I may not earn as much as he does but when I buy my children clothes or things to wear, I do not take them to an ukay-ukay store or make them settle for the cheapest pair of schools shoes or rubber shoes on the shelf. I get them the best that I can afford because they deserve it. He, on the other hand - does not. He makes them "settle" and demands subservience, usually, its the next thing to the cheapest if not the cheapest item in the store. In a nutshell, you do not shout at a 6 year old for asking P5.00 to buy fishball. THAT's the kind of person this TROLL is.

Enough of that. 

For the traitor who made screen grabs of my comments in threads, I pray you survive only up to this summer. Because I CURSE you. I CURSE the very ground you walk upon, I CURSE the very air you breathe. You are a traitor, no better than the troll you took sides with. I will let the universe "take care" of you and what you did to us, to me. For destroying my trust in people, for putting that idea of doubt into my head, I CURSE YOU and I pray the demons take you before the end of this summer.

What Happened to us?


What happened to us? 

Where is our sense of outrage? 

We cuss and we curse, send out the most vicious invectives at a supposed rape victim, defend an accused rapist just because they're celebrities but we can't find the sense of outrage for the number of children being raped everyday? They have no voice. They are not celebrities. They do not have a network of friends who can wear T-shirts of protest or support for them and yet we turn a blind eye to this.

A country that cannot even protect its weakest citizens is an inept nation, a nation of cowards, a nation of hypocrites, a nation of dense and numb people who cannot even find that moral outrage to set things straight and correct the wrongs that hound us day in and day out.

We have government agencies who molest and rape our natural environment and we do not say anything. We have government officials who steal from us face to face and yet they walk around scot-free. We have a total lack in public service and we take it knowing fully well these agencies will be unable to function without our taxes. When will we demand justice? When its too late to serve its purpose? We have a government office that is supposed to protect the human rights of VICTIMS yet it only speaks up when death threats are hurled at criminals or when criminals are dealt with the way they should be. They allow the human rights of victims and the families of victims to be victimized all over again due to their apathy towards victims but portray a truck load of empathy and sympathy for criminals.

And we keep quiet. We do not speak up. We've lost our sense of moral outrage. We only speak up when we choose to and we retreat to our comfortable corner under the sun unmindful of the fact that people are still living in tent cities, they need our help, they need to feel part of this country and not forgotten. We only speak up when we want to bash another person for their difference in opinion but fail to offer any proactive constructive ones. We speak up against brutality against celebrities but not towards the injustice and murder of innocent nameless ones. 

What happened to us? Where are "we"?
