Truth, powefully expressed. Paraphrased, "It would be easier for a rich man to go through the eye of a needle, than for him to enter heaven.." "Them that's got shall get, them that's not shall lose"(from the song, "God Bless the Child") This is the way of the world. The gross of the wealth in the hands of the few and powerful...
Well done and the shame of it is, it has no ending, for the poor will always be with us hoping for the generousity of the affluent, who waste too much.
Tellin it like it is, Emeka, to the shame of the brotherhood of the whole human race. For "race" it surely is... where parity is certainly more than unequal and the playing fields wholly uneven. This write has so many possible references and allusions... and at one level each one of us "dies" in our spirits every day a little more, prey to our own perceived "affluence" and that which it takes to perpetuate it. It is the plight of the world's poor, bearing up against intolerable odds, that teaches us what nobility really is. And surely your pen is sharper than the sword here. TY and Bless you, Kate x
Children will enjoy reading and hearing about the silly antics of a puppy still learning how to be a good listener. This story is about Riley, a cute, little, rescue puppy who gets into all sorts of predicaments.
