Death Be Not Proud

A macabre spectre is the way I see it. The gravest threat to global security is the way experts around the world see it. We are contending with a group/ multitude of people who dream of death and its heavenly aftermath. Youth sometimes barely out of their teens are ready to sacrifce their life as they consider it their duty/service to their motherland. And am not talking about the national armies out here, its what the globe calls organized terrorism. Violence can never be a means to an end; it can only start another nor will anybody be able to justify violence. Death for these young men and women is so glorified that the are willing to give up their life at the press of a button. Divine orders! Well No divinity preaches this blatant anti-thesis of life when suicide is against HIS will.

In certain cases from past files, it was uneducated, ignorant people who jumped the bandwagon sometimes even for the lure of the lucre. New research shows that its a myth, neither is today's group uneducated nor poor. A promise of heaven and glorious afterlife is sometimes all it takes to motivate them. Where are we heading?

DEATH be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow......

By John Donne from "Death Be Not Proud
