whether it be because of rain or blazing sun the world has become a place without shelter an innocent child of eight years is hung by the taliban norwegian woods flow with blood african children with distended bellies suffer the pain and miseries of hunger but still the charlatans debate debt ceilings posturing for the next election cementing their greed into the fiber of life while sealing the graves of others
A sad fact in the current world… and they say every VOTE counts… I wonder what it really counts towards! 😦
This one came across very powerful, Charles…
Strong words on a horrid reality. Why would the Olso gunman shoot children? (not that I would have him shoot anyone). Why does our Congress pose and posture as their invented ship goes down, ignoring all the better uses they could put their time a salaries to.
we are a pathetic species, who fail their offsprings. the rich are too busy running after money, poor are too busy running after bread, no one bothers about the life they brought to earth.
This powerful poem brings a sad and hard comparison to what’s going on in the world… the debate in Congress seemed endless… all while horrible events happen around the world.

How true!
I just can’t get over that guy in Norway and what he did, it’s constantly on my mind 😦
Wow–what a timely post! Love it–the poem not the sad, sad facts.
so very true, relevant and current
and never ending
Oh, isn’t it shocking … All the events of the day … and the haves unwilling or unable to do their jobs. Shameful.
Wonderful piece though, Charles.
men of power will stand on the backs of children and the downtrodden because they can

Since our leaders won’t do it, it’s up to us mere mortals to build the world’s shelters.
