POSTCARD to my SYRIAN friend …..

Yes it is time to end this hell on earth

 

DEAR friend ,

 

I HAVE FAILED YOU.

 

YOU tried to tell me. I listened but I did not understand .

I basically had and have NO understanding of WAR.

 

I did not understand the terrible fear you must have had in your heart when we met at Vienna Airport for the 1st and only time.

2 strangers meeting in a crowded  airport .

Maybe you thought I could help

YOU told me

“ they will not stop until they destoy & wipe us out  “

 

” my mother , father and sister will not leave because this is their home”

I HAVE FAILED YOU .

 

The WORLD has FAILED YOU

 

FORGIVE ME

your Australian friend
