In sensless acts of
Random violence, the children
Always seem to pay.

So true Coyote, they only know what is good.If only we could live, love and learn like the children.....DRQ

The children are the only innocent ones. Yet lately, they've been a major target. Tell me, where is the world going to go when all the children know about is violence?

O Coyote O,
I dare say to hell if we cannot find a way to stop the insanity. I marvel
how people so often try to find outside reasons for the wickedness of the
world when they only need look within. We must become a people who take
responsibility for our actions and choices and stop finding others to blame
for our misdeeds. Then and only then will the sufferring stop. This is my
opinion. I would not wish to debate it for I fear others would not agree.
From personal experience I know that standing up and admiting our errors and
taking full responsibility and punishment for them makes a difference. People
take notice of such action, they think your nuts for doing it, but they take
notice and in a positive way. Sorry I got on a soap box. Please forgive me.

No problem. Somebody has to stand up and speak out on this, or nothing is gonna change.

We should never be afraid of having an opinion.. and we should always be prepared to stand on a soap box for the innocent!! Highly commendable...
Can they count on us
To stand up and be counted
For their injustice?

Alice,
Though I agree 100% with sharing opinions I have gotten myself into much hot
water over the years in such modes. In my past days in Haiku land etc. I
have pissed many a person off as well. It was one of the reasons I left I
felt I had worn out my welcome. Well take care and I really do agree with
you.

Opto, I sure hope you will stay here this time, good writers are too precious and rare..And I can't think of anything anyone could write in Haiku ( well maybe a couple of things) that would get up people's noses...Anyhow I'm looking forward to reading more of your work, take care...Alice..
