A Letter To Ancilla

Thank you for that astounding neo-geneses, Ancilla ...I'm glad that you told me you know the condition in Darfur is more than that ...we're all glad to know that ...but did you ever think that perhaps the people of Darfur have individual feelings and broken hearts and sometimes it might help the reader to understand and feel the pain of the individual as well as understanding the comprehensive scope of the genocide that has been happening for much longer than the Darfur conflict?

And perhaps if there should be someone who may have been there themselves and they read what I have written perhaps they may actually appreciate that there is someone out there who is attempting to see into and feel and have compassion for the individual hearts of the people of Darfur as well as the collective heart of the indigenous African people who have lived there all their lives, who are being slaughtered by the thousands, whose babies are being thrown into the fires, who are being so brutally raped everyday, who are being chopped up into pieces and thrown into the water systems, thereby rendering the water unfit for consumption, whose homes are being torched and burned to the ground, who have no where to turn so the young girls and boys now rely on the sex slave trade for mere survival of their bodies meanwhile they are dying inside and I could go on and on ...so thank you again, Ancilla for bringing to my attention that you're aware that the condition in Darfur is more than that. And ...oh, by the way your little sad face is so cute ...very nice touch, sweetheart ...thank you.

A word of advice: it's never a good idea to insult someone for having the compassion to at least attempt to look at every side of the multi-faceted angles on situation such as this ...this is something about which many of us are very passionate and there is no wrong in the expression of that passion.

Sincerely,

Michele L. Langlo
