An innocent commuter

The bomb went off killing the innocent commuters that wasn't in anyway in any part of the disputes that the world and its leaders are at. Victims of these cruel bloodsheds are often always the masses; they do not have the top level security the leaders enjoy. Easy targets for the vicious and terroristic attuned vultures that prey upon them. The blast has shaken and woken the communities to stay vigilant against the real threat of terror. London may be nautical miles away but the chance of such events occuring here remains very high. Remember the planned bomb attacks that was to be carried out by the local terror group? They had filmed the layout of Yishun Mrt station and planning to execute the demolition. Even though their targets have been the US forces that had been stationed here, innocent bystanders would defintely feel the impact of such brutality.
"We have to stay strong and not let such acts of brutality stops us from moving on."
"We will not give up on the way of life that we have been living."
Words that conveyed such messages vibrates the drums of our ears especially in such times. But SO WHAT? My concern is to go to work and earn a living to feed my family. The conflict the world and its leaders has with the disillsioned has now becomes my problem, when in no way i was really part of the equation. I hate the dynamics at work here. But this is just going to be the way things would be for a long time to come and i would pray hard and be thankful that i remain safe when i reach my destinations. For the Londoners killed, they are the victims of the dynamics in these crazy world we have come to built. We have built a world where the destruction becomes the avenue for the expression of "freedom" and by forcifully subduing the destructors we hope to create a facade of peace. These are expressions for the meaning of the word FAKE, DISILLUSION and PANDEMONIUM. Such is the world we reside in, and that can only be getting to the destruction of the world.
As the G8 Submit meets to solve the poverty issues of the world at large, the threat of terror remains the top agenda on the list of the EU and the United States. As the blast has gone off in the city centre of London attacking the main vein of the transportation systems, we can draw parallels to the 9-11 incident in New York amd Pentagon in Washington D.C. The focus of the disillusioned has shifted. It has shifted to the European countries as the United States tighten its security. As the US and EU beomes more vigilant, the eye of threat may yet shift again towards the Asia Pacific Region. I hope however it will not happen to me.
I am just a innocent commuter going to work in Changi Airport. There may be pregnant lady beside me, a school boy with schoolbag packed with books, a sexily dressed office girl, maybe there will be a grandfather dozing off on the train. I am just a innocent commuter...
