THEN, THERE WILL BE NO HOPE! If we don't change the way we do And learn to do what we don't If we can't each, honor ourselves It's a sad fact that others won't And there will be no hope! If life isn't treated sacredly And we won't care for one another If we can't hold out a helping hand To help each Sister and Brother Then where will we find hope? If we can't let our greed and hate Be overcome with how we love Then, it's not enough to say you pray To some god somewhere above Though, you may feel that may bring hope. If we let our World numb our hearts And our minds and sensitivity If we think life is some movie script Beamed out to us on some TV And think it's all not real, we hope! If we don't quit our pretending That everything will be alright That it couldn't happen to us We will find, someday, it might No matter how much, we may hope. Though, there are some bad apples Our young people are the best We must all help their learning So, they can pass this life's test For, they are our only hope! We are all our Brother's keeper And all other people's, too If we won't stop doing what we don't There will be nothing left to do And then, there will be no hope. 4.17.2007 Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. |

 (wipes tears) Oh Abe, this rings ever too true as my heart cries out to all the students, faculty and their families at Virginia Tech in who were victims of what was truly a pointless, senseless rampage! (sad sigh) Almost eight years ago today, I was just a few miles from where the Columbine High School shooting occurred, and I had some friends at Denver Academy who were friends, even siblings, of students who were shot there, so this made me overemotional when I first heard about it and always reverberates to me in heart, where I believe it is crucial that we unconditionally love our children so that some children don't end up bullying one another and encouraging this continuing cycle of physical and emotional trauma many children continue to cope with ever too often! (sigh) God Bless You, dearest friend, and may our prayers continue to reach their hearts, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Abe, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other" |

excellent, though dreadfully sad, your concept of the matter is right on target. |

Our tears now soak into the darkened earth and our hearts break at this tragedy. So sad for all concerned. Hugs BonBon  |
