Description
...+...
A door opens upon an opaque street
and here, they realize the time spent forging
a new place for those who lost their way
was funded by those who had never come across such troubles
And why is it, that we ignore the atrocities that surround us
until they force their way into our eyes
The negation of the bleeding hearts that lay around us
no matter how loud, or how fierce they scream
their voices remain silent
But soon, someone will wake to the cries the night air carries
because somewhere, the walls are stained a deeper shade of red

Sounds like a girl i know
Really wonderful artwork yoshi. I understand what you write but take notice of your acknowledgement "funded by those who had never come across such troubles". Sometimes that is the only way a person can respond, it isn't that they don't see, they do and that is why they respond financially. There are so many stories on the streets, so many ways one is lost. There are even those who want to remain lost, and given an alternative, would reject it. Each of us must take one day at a time in our environments and see how we may take a step towards wholeness, whatever that means for each of us. Disabilities do not excuse lack of action, whether they are mental, physical, or due to lack of personal experience of the suffering of others. The challenge presents to all of us on a daily basis.
Suzanne said it so well, I have nothing more to add, other than I love the title in its context: when I see the statistics I sometimes feel almost ashamed to be male, so I applaud any statement of compassionate support towards women who have been broken.
This is a gorgeous peice of artwork and I hate that so many are wronged, but I'm a little confused by your message. If you're saying you hate men, I disagree; my kind have done awful things as well (a fact that most are afraid to face), and because of this I know gender has nothing to do with it. The problem is human beings -- we're all capable of horrible atrocities whether we like it or not, so it's up to the individual to thwart or at least deal with that inert feeling. Sorry if I've misinterperated your message. And Synapse shouldn't feel ashamed to be a man. A mother is beating the crap out of her kid somewhere right now, and that doesn't make me ashamed to be female. I just want it all to stop.
