Dear Khodayar, before you arrived here they were ready for
you with their false and so called humane slogans. They were ready with their
distrustful eyes and their cruel and harsh treatments. They were ready to do
this to you and to others of your kind – people forced onto the road who had
to abandon their burnt out homes. They were determined you would not find any
home here. They wanted you to wish you had never come here.
The harsh reefs that you had to pass, that you managed to
pass to come here were not as harsh nor as treacherous as what you found here.
They tortured you for 37 months and in that time you only just managed to keep
your head above the waters. It was on the 18th of October, 2015 in the
morning that the waters closed over you for the final time, and they looked like flames. It seemed
like the voices of friends were in your ears at that last moment. You had roved
from one end of this country to another seeking refuge and ended up by this creek
in Dandenong. Love Stephen
