Just general thinking....about Katrina.


guns ready to fire

at those hungry, angry ones

who break pantry gates

heeding not the warnings

searching for food

Well done! I thought this was about the Palestinians who recently broke through the border into Egypt until I read it again and saw your prologue. I suppose that speaks to the universality of this experience that you have captured in ink.

About every 4th month in Peru there's a "huelga" (strike) by store-keepers. Prices double--sometimes triple--overnight, and stores are raided--no food's available, and the stupid thing is: it just makes the store owners have to raise the prices again. It's a vicious cycle! And so it goes... Just like Katrina. --Such a waste. I look at the Califonians sharing and banding together, and my faith in humanity restores a bit--people reaching out in love and empathy rather than anger...Still, my heart goes out to the hungry. What would you do if your family was starving? I love my charities! Nice to know you're doing something. --Charlie

It still boggles my mind to think of the BILLIONS of dollars that are handed over to fuel a war or send a shuttle into space, but a poor helpless family is still left to suffer right here in our own country!
There's something very wrong with this picture!
Very wrong!
Thank you for sharing, George~
Powerful words to spark a fire of thoughts!
Love and Peace~

And, they're still searching for food. Food for their bodies and their souls. Maybe the relief agencies will finally take responsibility and make things right for them. Such a sad commentary on our society.
