are poisoned from the salt
of mothers’ tears.

Fine post – captured the essence of the trauma. Wonderful.
Thank you
(: so true
Excellent post. Gets to the heart of the matter in very few words. Visual imagery says it all. Yes #BringBackOurGirls #BringBackOurSisters
It’s incredible. Some bigger righteous bullies need to take down those barbarous bullies!

Powerful. Beautifully written, though I wish It need not be written.
Indeed.
This would be the best gift , for mother’s day 🙂
I agree. I hope they are all home soon, whole in body and spirit.
Almighty , has it for it too , maybe a solid reason . Warriors will be taking birth 🙂 Amin !
One can only pray for the safety of body and mind for the girls impacted by this abuse.
Miracles happen , I wish the best needed now . Mind will disrupt and disrepute , need to handle it with grace .
Why has no media taken up the cause.
This is major. This is not religion, this is not Islam, this is not race,this is not tribe. This is evil. This is hatred. This is wrong.
There is a lot of media reporting on this in North America and on Twitter, though it took a while (a couple of weeks) to take hold.
Yes. Same here now. But it was certainly a dead issue for too long.
I guess it took some time for the word to leak out.
A powerful image.
Thanks
