Our humanity
seems to have disappeared,
when we need it most.

Basic elements
that would sustain precious life,
denied sustenance

As hearts break worldwide
in plea for tender mercy,
prayers are lifted.

{When the rain falls down from heaven
it must be the angels crying
for all the sorrow in the world tonight,

yeah, even God must get the blues...}

It is extremely hard
for me to accept
that some people have
no compassion, whatsoever...

One of the ladies left a link
on a news article regarding
Rev. Rice, who made some very
valid points on this matter
to the "good" judge in Florida...

All I can hope is, that the
powers that be are keeping
a close watch on the players...

let me too add my amen, judicially ruled murder is still murder...and the victim's silence is deafening to those who have ears to hear

Denial is what it is, and it is shameless!!

You write with grace under fire, and I thank you for that.
