Sins of the fathers and mothers are sometimes not by choice...
the child walks the path of misery abandoned left to destiny too young to understand empathy lost to our sight in infancy bomb and mortar, bullet and gun obscure the sky, hide the sun child steps alone, steps one by one Knows not laughter or childhood fun sells her bits for food to eat a place to rest her weary feet to the soldiers pressed so neat the price is paid by her defeat alone again in the early morn death silence comes to mourn in nine months a child is born spinning wheel filled with scorn

One of the cruelest aspects of this world we live in is that so many, many children never have a chance to actually *be* children. Your compassion is apparent, spreading awareness is so important...and maybe someday, somehow we will also find solutions.

Thank you for sharing this,
Jill

And for many of these kids, this is all they know.

Sad...but well done.

Sad, true and heartbreaking Fee. I was going over some photographs a photographer friend brought back from Bagdad..they would break the strongest hearts. We need to focus more on the victims I think...now...not afterwards.
You have a key incite to children Fee. Your heart is real, full and vocal. Keep up your writing. It is important.
Love for my friend,
Susan

New Poetry by Felix LeRoy Perry

Lost Dreams, Found Memories

As the years ahead become fewer than the ones we left behind the mind and imagination sometimes turn dark... <br>

Just Another Old Sailor

Sometimes I am actually glad my years on this planet are winding down. I lived in the best of years but see this old world slowly and at times not so

not so great again

<br>Just in a reflective mood...

Towards the Ending

When Your Memories Visit

How Could You Let Us Fade Away?

It is hard to forget a dance when your dance partner won't leave your heart... <br>

Our Forgotten Dance

As humans the ability to forget is often as strong as the ability to love.
