A Moment..........


In a moment all transpires~

A glass of champagne is lifted to the lips in celebration.
A hushed silence descends on a gathered crowd in the rewarding of one it's elite members.
A computer churns over the interest of an arms dealer.
A shipment of weapons ploughs the open seas waiting to disembark it's load of death.
A midnight call whisks away a dissenter of a government.
A child goes to bed hungry.
A child disappears.
A paedophile cruises the streets preying on street children.
A run away is raped
An unknown human dies of a drug overdose.
Modern pirates hijack a ship and ransom it.
A prostitute feels the chill of a wintry breeze.
A copulation takes place.
A hit man takes out his opponent.
A circle of friends gather.
A babies diaper is changed.
A baby is suckled.
A lion stalks it's prey.
A buck tastes the metal of it's own blood.
A hooded member incites others.
A fear grows.
Money men hatch plans.
A economy crashes.
Intelligence gathering gains momentum.
A natural disaster takes place.
A festering wound is opened.
A homeless person places their head on the sidewalk for the last time.
A person is subjected to torture.
A hall reverberates with the golden sound of opera.
A drunk person starts their own car.
An aggrieved, misunderstood and alienated teenager goes on the rampage.
An abused woman loses her front teeth.
A family share their love in a night time ritual.
A preacher reins in his flock.
A surgeon saves a life
A psychologist probes a mind.
A truck driver delivers much sought after aid.
A missionary helps the poor.
A dam opens it's floodgates.
A plant begins to grow.
A heat seeking missile finds it's target.
A person loses their house through default payment.
A child blows out his candles.
A mother gives birth.
A musician pens a hit song.
An actor receives their award for their contribution.
A husband receives his promotion.
A person slides into their own oblivion without experiencing love.
A stranger extends themselves in someone elses time of need.

Through each and every moment, in the darkness and the light, there is always the choice of the path, the courageous stand of integrity and selflessness and the way forward, to be able to do one thing, that could inevitably spread and change the world, despite the ever present gloom, that will always be there, and for those unable to choose the evolutionary path, to self and group enlightenment,no matter who, where or what they represent in the hollow and shallow perspective of a moment.

Your post is thought provoking, and brought up some stark imagery. A personal philosophy that has evolved in my life is to present to others what is serving me on my own path, and in the same way I learn from others.
