what he shoulda got me

...if there was a he. er. dont usually like all the vday themed sneaks that pop up around the "holiday". but between the silhouette of the greek goddess nike & the poem. saw these and swooned :now.

to lov is to breathe/with each inhale, i pause to experience/a state of pure bliss/with each exhale, i smile knowing that/my foundation is sound/with each step, i walk as if im on air/flying through time as a winged/angel i spread my wings/to experience freedom the freedom/to experience what is a divine/state of mind/the inexplicable nature of lov

love146

lets share some numbers:

27 million people are enslaved around the world today
80% of them are children and women
every 30 seconds someone is sold
florida [my home state] is #2 in the nation in human trafficking
her number was 146

now what are you going to do about it?

human trafficking is something we dont talk about. yet we have heard. is it too uncomfortable, or is it that its only happening in these far away places. last week in palm beach county, a house was raided for being used as a brothel for women who were brought into the u.s. to work as sex slaves. one young woman was brought into the u.s. at the age of 14 and was transported from atlanta, to new york and various "hotspots in florida. girls as young as 7 are being sold on "menus" in cambodia and thailand as they watch cartoons in matching red dresses behind glass walls. this is happening in neighborhoods all across the united states. in our backyards. and we can not stay silent any longer. these are our sisters. and our brothers. our children. and when they have lost their voice. we must scream and fight. for justice.
