Normally I would have passed this suggestion off to one of the general photography gallery directors. I am the artistic nude gallery director and usually feature work accordingly. But when this came in and I opened the link, I decided to do it myself. The image did something to me. Not in the sort of way tragic images are displayed on the evening news. Like so many I have become desensitized to the moving image of television. The same cannot be said for photography. Images have a tendency to move me in ways other mediums cannot. Perhaps we all feel that way about our chosen form. Photography, the genre I love so much, can make me cry. And that is precisely what happened when I saw this. plight of africa by *CatchMe-22

Description
The dead have remembered
our indifference
The dead have remembered
our silence
The dead have remembered
our words
all the living are guilty
little children
who offered bouquets of flowers
are guilty
lovers are guilty
guilty are poets
guilty are those who ran away
and those that stayed
those who were saying yes
those who said no
and those who said nothing.

Doing my medical elective in Africa did something to me. Something special that cannot be replicated by any amounts of TV, or movies, or poems, or photographs.
Something that everyone needs to see, but so many don't.
Something that people see in the news, sigh, shake their heads, then return to their dinner.
Spread the message. Open your eyes.
