[hometext] => family violence is the fastest growing crime in the world...
[bodytext] => / //// / So many tears, but none to see, families and their secrecy: bruises hidden under clothes, the greatest fear, that someone knows. Silence sits around the pain, a bell jar of loss and shame: the whispers and furtive stares, the greatest hurt, that no one cares. Bullies grown from playground dirt relish in the common hurt: take the pain to other realms, to families and company helms. Victims, too find their place, vulnerable in that space: wondering what it is they’ve done to suffer, each and every one. Between the fears and crippling doubt, the desperate search for a way out: nightly weaving in their prayers, the greatest hope, that //someone// cares.
