Where There Is

Where there is malnutrition, let us provide basic human resources, for the poor and the destitute. Where there is insufficient: clothing, shoes, water, housing, education, and job opportunities-let the world community take the necessary actions. Where there is talk of: ethnic, religious, sexual cleansing, let us hold those responsible accountable for their crimes against humanity. Where there is talk of warfare among the nations, or ethnic groups; let us preach and practice world peaceful harmony. Where there is sexual and human trafficking; let us put an end to such human miserable mistreatment. Let us provide freedoms to the captives. rehabilitation, moral, ethical and spiritual guidance. Housing, education,and employment opportunities. Where is talk of domestic violence against people, and property; let us provide the necessary intervention, legal action, and restoration. Where there is talk of warfare, and violence between hostile nations; let us hold out the olive branch of reconciliation and peace. There are no winners or losers in the game of warfare, only its hopelessly defenseless victims. Where there are crimes against the natural world and the animal population, let us be a voice to those who have no voice. Let us defend a world unable to defend itself. Let us not just fold our hands and walk away. Let us not fail to acknowledge the problem. by the failure to take affirmative action. Let us not follow in the neglectful footsteps of the current United States' presidential administration, of Donald Trump! There are so many issues facing the world community, they are not all addressed here! Love as always! Roxanne Lea Dubarry RoxyLea1954 June 27, 2017

Hi Roxanne, the world has to stand together in all things, to fight all injustices but there are always those who will not stand with others. Each country can do its little bit but only together can we truly win against all the wrongs of our world. A wonderful and honest write, Roxanne. I never knew you were on this site. Have a wonderful Friday. Hugs always ..... Mike. XX
