Artist's Comments

This picture was inspired by the words of Pink Floyd.
Take the time to listen to the song as you look at the picture. It is dedicated to the many children in the DRC who are victims of this dreaded civil war.

Portrait of Melabo to follow shortly....He is the kid in the Photo.

ON THE TURNING AWAY

On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we wont understand
Dont accept that whats happening
Is just a case of others suffering
Or youll find that youre joining in
The turning away

Its a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting its shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that were all alone
In the dream of the proud

On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night

No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
Its not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that therell be
No more turning away?

I don't know the song, but I take the message in the words. I think the picture says more, though :)

:( Rather ignore and turn away than accept that this is reality ... but an extremely good capture! :heart:

Being Happy does not mean everything is perfect
It means you have decided to look beyond the imperfections

reality is something most people refuse to face

Strangely, I'm still seeing the old avatar... but the "new" pic only predates the old one by a couple of months... :)
