Rage - Rediscovered

Try as I might, I seem unable to read a newspaper these days without some reference to a brutal rape somewhere in India/Bharat. Don't know about you but I have somehow unconsciously blocked my mind/heart to the numbing pain - blame it on media overkill, blame it on helplessness, whatever.

And yet, through the thickened layers of cultivated insensitivity, one small sentence seared all the way deep into a numb soul...... a THREE year old girl, raped by an unidentified man, lured by an offer of a chocolate.... the newspaper report said: The victim said that the man took her to the compound and "did bad things to her"

Jesus, forgive me, but if I ever lay my hands on that man......... how does one even begin to understand how one can even think of raping a child of that age? A few days back I wrote an apology for a lost rage? 

That rage is back, fully afire, blazing, seeking an outlet now - bloodthirsty now! HOW can anyone think of raping a child???!!!!!
