cricket legged people crouch to peer at the stricken body laying on the hot tar a burning never felt the uncle pushed his nephew to safety before the car struck reshaping his head a soft fractured football the driver steps out lizard lips spilling out “my car, look at my car” while the nephew learns how to hate **just in case you wanted to know - I was a medic in Richmond VA and saw this happen - the driver never showed anything but concern for his car - the uncle I will always remember for his sacrifice** |

It may be hard to understand at times but God does have a plan. Hate is not the answere, it is prayer. |

That is awful. Unfortunately there are really reckless people in the world & you can't blame "God" for this, but the blame must fall on the idiot that hit the uncle. Human beings are so hasty to blame everyone (especially God) except themselves. The fact is we don't live in a spirtual realm & humans are very self centered and materialistic. Very sad poem.

Some people care for nothing more than teirselves and their "things". It's aweful, but true. I feel sorry for them, but more for the onces being a victim of this. |

People can certainly be crass, can't they? There's something to be said for hermitage... |
