Human Rights Day

Today is Human Rights Day. This is the one day taken out of the year to recognize the injustices that occur all over the world all year long. Today marks to Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which came into existence on December 10, 1948. But I am not here to give you a historical synopsis I am here to speak the truth. I type in red to represent the blood of many people. There are millions of people who's lives are destroyed because they are not free. We say we are free, but what about the women in Zimbabwe who are raped and beaten. What about the women of Iran and Afghanistan who don't have the liberty to go to school and live their lives in peace, in any way that they choose. Yes, what about the millions of people around the world that are not being the opportunity to choose life for themselves...but are being told how they must live. What about truth ? I don't have all of the answers but I do know this...each of us can do something about it. We can speak out on what needs to change and we can change it by taking action!!! Send letters, contact government officials, make the public aware of what is going on. Let's not just sit in our lovely homes and pretend that the rest of the world does not exist, because it does. You see everytime we close our eyes to the truth, we are aiding to the terror that exists in the lives of many on a daily basis. We have blood on our hands....
