HOW THICK IS THIS BLOOD? This is one question that has been on my mind for a very long time. People say “blood is thicker than water”, but I’ve been wondering: how thick? Does this question sound stupid? Well, nevertheless, I need an answer. How thick is blood? It looks and feels thick, but is it? I mean how thick is blood that Cain was able to murder his brother Abel; that Tamar was raped by her “brother”; that his parents named him “Jabez”; that babies are dumped in gutters; that fathers rape their daughters; that siblings kill one another over probably, landed property or money? How thick is this blood that makes members of the same family do unspeakable things to one another? How thick is this blood that makes your relatives, so called aunts, uncles and cousins forget that you exist? I guess everyone is too busy and engrossed in their business to think or even care for any other person. So you see, they feel and look thick but are in fact empty, as good as useless...
