The recorded message left by Amber Watson, aged 47,
She was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head.
Oh god of the green fields and flowers,
Am I less than grass.
Do you take care of trees and birds better than
you take care of me.
You know everything but you do nothing.
You see all but you do nothing.
Oh Saviour of our enslavement, free me,
and take me to a better place.
My son was only 5 when he contracted Covid 19.
Did you know that?
I wasn’t allowed to see him.
They said I might catch the disease myself.
I had to watch him die through a glass window.
He was terrified as he gasped for his last breathe.
His little hands once so strong curled up and fell to his side.
His beautiful blue eyes closed forever.

.... life's realities can cause one to question the name, the symbols, the religion, the mirage we deemed our moral compass, I believe it is at that time we are at our closest to god.
Very powerful.
