Blinded By Tears Or Ignorance

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/shankmrbob/00290-24.jpg ^visit the above link thoughts of emotional detachment yet I'm so happy that I cried how selfish of me to take joy in sadness their eyes filled with hope the sparkle fading fast like yesterdays dream of bread or of a loving hug maybe even a warm bed there's salt in tears but no food to spice only open wounds upon the souls of mankind how can we be so blind do tears cloud your vision as well..... How can we live with the knowledge that conditions like this exist, while we argue about what is fair and what is not fair, while we force our philosophies upon other countries and when they don't "toe the line" we declare war under the guise of american freedom being in jeopardy....when you look at the above picture, please notice the sparkle in their eyes, the hope or dreams of an imaginary piece of bread that will never come, the sparkle is fading fast, and as you go to sleep tonight, the picture like the children themselves will just be a memory cast aside because we are far too caught up in our own lives to worry about such things.... Today was the first day I've openly cried in 17 years other than in verse, and it felt good because it let me know that I was human and yet I felt selfish to find joy in such sadness....... Studies continue to focus on obesity in this country, yet how many studies are done about the rest of the world that starves?....Biafra has nothing that we need, except the sparkle and even that is only temporary.....Peace
