Thailand 2014
Almost a month ago now, we had the amazing opportunity to visit Thailand. Due to the unrest regarding the elections in Bangkok, we chose to visit a more remote area called Rayong and then traveled to Pattaya to explore as…
For every dream unrealized
every goal unachieved,
all the legacies lost,
I grieve.
For every celebration thwarted,
every promise broken & family torn,
every
body left strewn and rotting,
I mourn.
For every heartbroken mother,
father, sister, brother;
For every void that can’t be filled,
For every hope that,
along with you,
was killed,
I weep.
I keep
thoughts of you
stamped in my mind,
cold-,
blood-,
red-,
brown sketches
like henna,
fading over time,
rebranded with new outlines
of bodies.
Your smiles
framed with my daughter’s laughter.
Your faces
looming over the vision I have of my son.
If I can’t protect them,
how will I prepare them?
We do not raise our children
for execution,
but they are targeted like prey.
#hashtags
have become tombstones
as they
RIP your bodies apart
and leave your lifeless limbs to rot,
while we mirror the actions
or sleep, deeply sleep.
America’s history on repeat
in every way.
So, I stay woke….
“We know this place…”

Hi,
I try to record many of my experiences on the blog when I find the time. Let me know if you have any specific questions about Singapore, and I’ll try to answer them for you.
