This work is dedicated to the silenced and the forsaken. To those about whom we yearn to speak, for whom we long to act. For whom we wish not a hollow, self-congratulatory performance, but something better—something truer. We look upon them and see everything, yet we can change nothing. We barely manage to utter a word that carries meaning. How does one speak upon such a stage without feeding upon their suffering?
