And Still I Rise

The phone rang. Carnival in Kingstown said the voice on the other end. Why? I asked. A man chop off a girl head at the Bus Terminal. The head is one place, the body another and a hand clutching a cell phone in yet another area. Since then the phone just keeps ringing with everyone expressing horror, some in tears and others just gripped by a sense of fear,anger and hopelessness.

How can you reconcile a young girl being dragged out of a bus and hacked to death in public view? And for what? My heart aches tonight for a young girl who didn't deserve to be killed like an animal, for a mother who somehow has to carry on after this tragedy and for a country that is becoming increasingly violent.
