bsquirrel, I didn't get this at first and then it hit me. Can you tell me what is happening to our world? We need someone to look up to. So far, God is the only one who hasn't let us down. Great poem, ME

Once again, you took a topic that is uncomfortable to think about and presented it in a dramatic way. Another performance piece, methinks. Good to see ya luvie...and the e mail is a long sad story, too.

And, ME, He will continue to be the only one to not let us down. Even His people will let us down, but hopefully not as often. It's all about access, pain, being lost and too few leading the right direction.

painful poem, sir, it's as if it's riveting the pain to the wall

Mother Earth and VAS, thanks for reading and for commenting. Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with the world, either; but I'm hoping it isn't a permanent affliction.

S'en, oh boy, do YOU owe me a story. E-mail me, k? Well, someday. Love ya lots.

Mike

It's funny, I had bullies all through school....some were easily ignored, and others really hurt feelings....my father has always had guns, he took me shooting almost every weekend.....I was a pretty good shot....but never, I mean NEVER did I ever think of shooting someone. It terrifies the hell out of me that kids are killing each other, and throwing their own lives away....like they were nothing....it's so sad....I suppose that's the main reason why I'm home schooling my kids.....wow Mike, you sent a flood of emotions through me with this one....

Thanks, everyone, for your replies. I'm glad it's able to breed discussion and thought. I wish it were able to breed answers.

Mike
