PRISONERS
It is a thing of power to have someone in control,
A raghead seeking trouble so I´ll give him plenty some,
It´s fun to play tormentor though there isn´t any goal
Beyond the cruel infliction--yeah, so maybe it was dumb.

They´re like subhuman animals a person gets so sick,
The hospitality is not so pleasant over there,
It doesn´t take a sadist to get pleasure from a kick,
But I´m glad to be gone--miasma seems to hover there.

History continues to repeat itself doesn’t it, and they tell us that we are now living in civilized societies?
Invade Iraq, yet ignore what Mugabe is doing, slavery is rife, as is mass murder in many countries, yet the powers that be turn a blind eye or whimper a few sympathetic words! That’s really going to help isn’t it!!

Great post Sue.

BTW, you have an award to collect: http://grottynosh.wordpress.com/2007/09/28/totally-fabulous-award/

You have blogged on an important topic. I very much appreciate your deep concern and the courage to bring it to the notice of the readers.
There are indeed the priveliged and underpriveliged members of society.we name them as “uganda,child abused, sex abused etc etc “
but after going thro all this analysis it comes to the human mind.
you have indeed done it very effectively and looking at your background it definitely will be an eye-opener to your readers.
oh sue! it was indeed a nice gesture.

You did a great job highlighting the sheer scope of just a few aspects of human rights abuses, it’s just stunning that the list goes on and on even in this day and age.

Thank you for enlightening us about it. Definitely some worthy causes to help with.

Reading things like this does make me realise how very lucky I am to have been born where I was. I hope I can keep this in mind if I wish for more of anything - especially material things.
Thanks for your kind comments. I am going to put my blog sidebar back now - I felt the article deserved the whole page to itself.

I was planning to blog about whiteslavery, but your post is a model of perfection in that you’ve included almost everything to be said or written! Such a great post! I’m proud to count you as a friend…you’re a GREAT blogger!

Amazing post, Sue. It’s frightening to think that people derive value or satisfaction in some way from abusing others. Your post makes me rethink my idea of a bad day. Thanks for this and for this info.

Excellent. You certainly do show the scale of the problem. I hadn’t heard of this challenge until I happened along your blog.

I heard of appalling evidence of multiple abuse today: In Swaziland, where unwanted pregnancies are common, abortion is illegal and two-thirds of the population live in poverty, about 80 foetuses were found in a stream. Rising poverty has led to a rise in the number of women turning to sex-work - exchanging sex for a meal is common. The men don’t use condoms, the women can’t insist. The risk of contracting HIV is high.

This is really an amazing entry. Blogging about things people usually don’t talk about is inspirational and motivational. And it is also the right thing to do, in order to move the society forward.
