There are not many photos that have brought me to tears. But seeing this one, I wept. I wrote this during a time when Syrian refugees were seeking shelter in countries they didn't consider home. I wrote it because I was distraught by all the horrific prejudices aimed toward them from people I considered my friends who reacted in fear and wanted to refuses these families from coming into their country out of fear and hate. It was a dark time in this countries history. It was a dark time when there has never been much light. Dear No One, I write this to you in the events of recent past Because we live in a world where human compassion does not seem to last. I write this to you because my words fall onto deaf ears And the benevolence of kindness is lost through all of our fears. I write this to you because even though they listen, they do not hear The sound of their terrified hearts growing colder year, after year. I write this to you because the worlds aggravation is a growing fad And quite honestly their anger leaves me unreservedly sad. Dear <PERSON>, am I being naive? Because a world worth fighting for is becoming harder to believe. - <PERSON>, 2015
