~Reality~

Somewhere, somehow, someone is going to read this, and someone is going to care.

Maybe not you, maybe you’re not part of God’s plan to free the slaves in this world.

Maybe you don’t feel their pain. I do, though.

I think of the pain that these people feel every moment of their lives and

I can nearly feel their shackles cutting through the skin on my own wrists.

I think of the horror that little children all over the world are forced to fight battles,

to kill human beings,

and I cry.

I want to scream.

I want to hit something.

I want to stop this horrible reality that is slavery in our world today.

You might not believe me, I didn’t believe it, but it’s true.

I’m not talking underpaid workers, or child labor.

Those things are wrong, but that’s not slavery.

I’m talking about people owning people and forcing them to work.

This is slavery and it is real.

This is slavery and it is the life that at least 27 million live every day right now.

Please educate yourself about these atrocities.

Please don’t push it aside.

Please don’t act like you’re too small to make a difference.

Do me a favor and read what this site has to say about slavery,

and then check this one out, too.

 Please don’t sacrifice their lives for your ease of mind.

Yes, it’s a hard truth to read about, to learn about.

But it is truth,

and we must learn about it so that we may change it.

Over and out,

~Em
