Since When?

Since when do we make fun of death? And since when the world sorrow became a laughing matters? Since when our tears have no values and our broken hearts are ground for more brutal massacre of our souls? Since when do we turn our backs on the cries for help and find joy in its agony? Since when our vision able to handle such cruelty? And our mouths are glued? Since when do we see the murderer as the victims and the victims as aggressors? Since when do we cut our own throat with our own hands? Since when do we become illiterate to not search and read on our own? Since when do we trust the media that feeds us lies and teaches more hatred? Since when we become petrified to speak the truth? Since when Unity become a word for Terrorism? Most of all since when seeing the children slaughtered is justified?
