Human rights in Syria now!
About 18,000 people
have already lost their lives
- and - their promise
in this struggle for internal control
of that beleaguered nation...
18,000!
This
represents a sizable tear
in the fabric of our humanity!
For
we can neither bring them back
nor can we resurrect
what good they would have stood for
in our needful world
if their lives were not cut so short...
Now,
the opposing sides of the Syrian conflict
might have already decided to pursue
- through armed conflict -
each their necessary outcomes
and we might not be able
to change that now...
BUT
if we - everywhere - stand up
for human rights in Syria - now
and if enough of us starts doing it,
and truly believe in it's work
though we can not directly affect
the prevailing will of the opposing forces,
we can move to effectively lessen
the unwanted suffering of the Syrian people.
We have our own outcome to work for in Syria;
an outcome seeks to responsibly preserve
that nation's own spirit and energy
for the task of the rebuilding
that is certain to come after
this bitter struggle.
Human rights in Syria now!
