Human Rights Violations: A Prayer of Frustration

Oooh.. god of human life, allow us to say our grief…
Before the altar of justice, executive privilege and monetary influence the innocents were slaughtered.

Oooh.. god of human rights, have mercy on us, our men became the sacrificial lambs on the caprices of the privileged and powerful.

To the gods of Olympus and to the gods of modern times, please tell us how are we going to deal with the pains and sufferings inflicted upon us?
Are we just to close our ears so we could not hear the cries and shouts of unbearable sorrows?
Are we just to close our eyes so we could not see the gestures and trembles caused by extreme pain?
Should we go back to stoicism to insulate us from all of these human rights offenses? Please tell us, ooh.. god..

Oooh.. our gods.. you colored the human civilizations by giving us inequalities; you gave us Archimedes to tell us the wonderful words “Give me a place to stand on and I will move the earth”; you gave us Seneca to tell the world that “it is the mandate of nature to subject the weak to the strong”;

Oooh.. god..give us another Prometheus, or just another Sisyphus; give us the absolute human rights as an instrument to move the earth or give us the endurance to defy the pains and sufferings caused by the whimsical suppressions of our rights.

Oooh..god send your sons to join and strengthen our cause of fighting our rights; give us the sword of Hercules to cut the oppression against writers, orators, and believers of any creed or system; give us the spear of Achilles to protect ourselves from the threat made by the one-eyed giant Polyphymus which cannot see the values of our right to existence; oohh..god.. give us the shield of Agammemnon to cover us from the great institutions who aspired to prevent the exercise of our rights.

Oooh..god..please hear our diminishing voices from the cave; save us from our fears from the hostile lions and eagles of our time; don’t allow us to disappear in eternity without a name – many were buried somewhere or detained in an unknown place on the reason alone that they write, perform, speak, and believe in something which they truly considered as their right.

Oooh..god..please cut the chain of fears and threats that enslaved our rights, please god hear our diminishing voices from the cave..
