Day of Mourning
My heart aches for the mothers, fathers and children who died of diseases they had no immunity to. My heart aches for the mothers, fathers and children who were murdered - hunted like wild animals on their land. My heart aches for people who were declared ‘flora and fauna’ and had all rights stripped. My heart aches for the torture, rape, slavery and children who were stolen. AND My heart aches for people who could massacre unarmed men, women and children. My heart aches for people who could strip other people of their land. My heart aches for people who could take children from their mother's arms.
