Colo

Colo in Nigerian pidgin English simply means crazy. There are lots of things that make us want to scream. Some would say that war made them Colo, others could say world poverty and hunger made them Colo, to still others corruption, and sometimes simply men who cheat on their wives or vice versa, drug addicts etc. The list is unending.There are a few things that make me Colo and numero uno at the top of my list is WAR RAPE! This isn't just about the killing of enemies during war, it is about stripping unarmed, unsuspecting people of their humanity, taking away all they have- joy, family, life...dignity. In the process, women and children are raped and killed, some who survive this arduous ordeal will have to live with the horrible prospect of being pregnant due to the callousness and idiocy of these non-human human beings! Having a child of such a brute will be the greatest curse known to humanity. Sadly, the list goes on since victims can contact STD's and even the grand father of all sexually transmitted diseases-AIDS. What irks me most about this crime is not just about the act but it also highlights the cruelty of mankind. War rape includes gang rape and rape with objects. Is there a human being like you and I who smiles in the face of another humans pain? A person who gets aroused and is desensitised by the pain of another is not a human being. They deserve to die, they do not deserve to breed. They only deserve forgiveness IF they ask for it and even then, only God can be the only one to grant them such luxury.

Another thing that makes me Colo is reading stories like this: "Mother and father plead guilty to sex with son ".

Here is the link if you feel up to reading it.

The first time i saw this article, i could feel my heart beat stop, i felt like everything was going in slow motion for a while before everything returned to normal. A WOMAN and a MAN felt it was normal and appropriate to have sexual intercourse while their son watched, not only that, they felt that perhaps their sex life would sky rocket if their son was to participate. "Well little Tim is too young you know and look how hot and beautiful he is growing, you would look so good f***king him you know"-father probably said. And Mother probably said "Yes, yes of course darling! This sure will spice up our sex life". But then, just having sex with their 9 year son wasn't quiet enough was it? They just had to upload it online so that sickos and pervs like themselves can come-off watching an innocent little boy whose only care in the world should (in a normal household) be to do his homework, go ride his bike with his friends and come back home to ask mum for dinner, rather he is objectified, sexualised and prostituted by the same people who are supposed to protect and guide him.

I could go on and on you know but a wise human once said,"he who runs from a fight leaves to fight another day", i will be back with even more things that make me Colo. I feel so sad talking about this, this issue depresses me. I know there is still hope for the human race. We will get better, we will learn to perhaps treat each other with respect and dignity not just in public but behind closed doors when there is no one there to see us, just as we truly are.
