Silenced

I found this beautiful article, the subject of which encapsulated so much of what is dear to me and my life's pursuit, about men held in solitary confinement. The article was a photo exposition of these men, as they were being granted the chance to be photographed for the first time in years - an odd concept for most of us these days, so accustomed to an endless stream of photographs as we are, and over-saturated by them. It is truly a beautiful idea, and these men gave the most incredible verbal accompaniments to their experiences - words that put the greatest existentialist philosophers to shame, words that elicited the most dire and true emotions that most of us never allow ourselves to feel. I was so happy for the opportunity to to publicize their words, spread the genuineness and great exposition of emotion by these men, on this blog.

I had so enjoyed promoting that wonderful article, and the words of the men therein - such important messages to spread to the world - some of the most real words most people will ever hear - those men telling their incredible stories.

I want to take the opportunity to apologize to the men of the article. I tried to spread your stories, your struggles. But yours was demanded to be silenced.
