April is the Month of Sorrows
a silent epidemic Emmilee Risling is still missing*
Tiananmen Square and Bucha April is the month of sorrows**
Xiong Yan the Chinese government neither forgives nor forgets***
clear blues skies not everyone gets a chance to enjoy spring
trees in bloom if my father were here, we'd be hiking
*Indigineous women face murder rates almost 3 times higher than white women. Friends and family of Emmilee are hoping she's still alive, and that they will find her.
**Bucha, Ukraine
***Xiong Yan was a dissident who escaped the Tiananmen Square massacre. He is running for public office. Evidently, the Chinese government feels threatened by his candidacy. They hired a private detective to frame him but that backfired.
