A War Measured In Tragedy And Tears...

 

Hi!

How can this still be happening? These photos are not mine, but I think they tell us everything we need to know in a very powerful way. 

The world sees, and can't help but know, the horror being thrust upon Ukraine and her people. 

Just when you think it can't get worse, it does. Just when you think the images on the news can't get any more terrifying, they do. Just when you think that we have witnessed the worst of humanity, we quickly discover that there doesn't seem to be a bottom. 

How long can this go on? How long can the rest of the world allow it to go on? 

A war measured in tragedy and tears. A stain on what seems to be left of our humanity. 

This is a chapter in history that never should have happened, but it has. We can't let it go on. We just can't.

Too many tears. Innocence desecrated, discarded, strewn upon the ground. Every silenced heartbeat matters. Every missed hug. Every stolen giggle. Every crushed milestone.

They all matter.

Genocide has been attempted too many times. Thankfully it has always failed. Every now and then, an evil entity rears its foul, gluttonous head, hoping to devour a swath of humanity thinking it will feed their power. It never does.

We can not let this be the exception.

Tears fall as my fingers cross the keys, mere drops in comparison to the oceans of sorrow felt by those ripped apart by this ugliness.

One of life's great lessons is that nothing in this life is permanent. Light can be swallowed by overwhelming darkness, but light always returns. Always.
