See poem "7 Souls"

“I miss you so, so much” and “You were such a friend”
went up with balloons in a heartfelt game of pretend.
Summer camp has started minus the voices of two
who were found one silent moment on Hamilton Avenue.

The children wrote their messages and tied them to each string
letting the balloons sail toward Heaven - Let their hearts sing!
How do you grieve such a loss? Innocense slain without remorse.
A family disappeared - now charted for unearthly course.

96 balloons sent up - will their messages ever be received
by the children with the angels after the world had grieved?
Summer camp has started minus the voices of two...
Who were found one silent moment on Hamilton Avenue.

Such a powerful way to help our children cope with death, it is so good to see. When I lost friends as a little kid, they just expected us to get on with life. And yet I'm still haunted by the lose of 6-16 yr old friends.... Great to see it is not just brushed under carpet anymore.... ty

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
