WHERE DOES IT HURT?
The little kid pointed to his knee
as he lay there on the sidewalk -
his skateboard now with a broken wheel….
The woman pointed to her wedding ring….
The school teacher pointed with her eye to a kid
all by himself looking out the schoolyard fence….
The whole village in Syria - that has been
totally blown to bits - has decaying bodies
rotting in the alleyways and the kids are crying….
The couple sitting on hard wooden benches -
on hard marble floors - across from each other -
outside the big wooden doors of the divorce
courtroom - are 5,000 miles away from each other….
The sleepless ones in the night ….
The man I'm about to see in 5 minutes
who just lost his wife late yesterday afternoon ....
Where does it hurt?

We stumbled over here by a different website and thought I might as well check
things out. I like what I see so now i'm following you.
Look forward to looking into your web page again.
