I recall how the tragic images of Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi shook the general public in Australia and the world; it prompted many to reconsider their thoughts and beliefs on refugees and immigrants. I truly hope that the world has not forgotten now that the images are in distant places in their minds. The images were indeed horrifying and allowed the world to feel connection and empathy for those fleeing their war torn lands, but this is not an isolated case; many other children have died and continue to die in the same circumstances, let us not forget them, or their families. Let us not forget that they are fleeing the same forces and dangers our government claims to oppose. Extend your compassion and empathize with all those on this earth. ----------------------- This image is from the music clip of "Oh Canada" by @missyhigginsmusic - jump on her Facebook to listen to this song: "'Oh Canada' simply aims to tell a story. It’s not preaching anything in particular, it’s simply my attempt to make sense out of senselessness. If it also reminds people of what happened to Alan and his family then I think that would be good - after what they went through they don’t deserve to be forgotten. If the song reminds people how the picture of that lifeless little boy made them feel then that would be even better because that proves we’re all very similar people who just happen to live under different circumstances. If the song inspires anyone to do something on behalf of refugees - to speak up for their rights and to push back against those who seek to inflame our fears and prejudices - then I think that would be best of all. 'Oh Canada' is out now, with 100% of net proceeds from sales going to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC)."
