ONE CHILD

Sorry but I am angry at the way religion is not speaking out at the many children that are dying. I am 64, if I die today I have had a life and choices, these kids have had nothing, just lies upon lies.

He lived everywhere

he was American,

English,

Afganistan,

he was a child of all lands,

yet he was not allowed to live

beyond the age of five

because he died,

he died in a war,

he died of starvation,

he died because

there was no medication.

One child

yet he was ours,

yours,

there's,

mine,

and now he is no ones,

just a name

on a certificat line.

John, it is a travesty that so many are still suffering when they don't need to. Such a sad legacy for mankind...

Be always safe,
Karen

THERE IS A WAY THAT WE CAN HELP AND 'RELIGION' HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. SIMPLY A HEART RENDERED TO THE TOUCH OF 'OUR GOD'S' LOVE, WILL LEAD ONE TO GIVE TO AS MANY CHILDREN'S CHARITABLE ORANGANIZATIONS THAT THEY CAN AFFORD TO GIVE TO. 'ONE CHILD' AT A TIME...ONE DAY AT A TIME... THIS IS A WELL WRITTEN, TIMELY WORK THAT WAS SO APPRECIATED BY THIS FELLOW POET. BLESSINGS.

John,
I feel your pain, where is compassion in today's times? Many in the world today turn a blind eye to all the hurt and pain in the world. I think they feel if they ignore it it'll go away. They are WRONG. Thank you John, for such a truthful write. I hope it opens someone's eyes.

Blessings,
~Linda

Look for Something Good by Robert Drews

When two men hit the reset button and decide to go out looking for the good in the world, they not only find it but also a lot more. P.S. The title is listed on Amazon under Look for Something Good by Robert Drews (not by Robert H. Drews)
