angry

I've been reading an awesome book

called "Not On Our Watch".

 

You really have to read it. 

(getting on my soapbox now)

I've been really really burdened by 

this situation in Darfur for a long time.

And I realize that not everyone is 

(though I can't understand why)

But even if you're not,

you still need to read the book. 

Because then you will be.

Yeah, it's hard to sleep soundly in your bed

and know what while you sleep tonight,

thousands will be forced from their homes, 

starved, raped, tortured, and brutally slaughtered,

for no other reason than 

who their parents are or where they were born.

But you cannot just remain silent while leaders of the world 

turn a blind eye 

and make excuses for failing to protect people of Darfur. 

You'll have to voice your compassion for the victims 

and anger at leaders who are timorous, complacent, 

and unwilling to take risks. 

Darfur is the capitol of human suffering today. 

It's the holocaust of our generation. 

Darfur deserves to live. 

Our failure to speak out to end the ongoing genocide 

in Darfur places us on the wrong side of history, 

and that should be intolerable to all of us.

So for the sake of our humanity,

!

and welcome to the fight
