    I know the feeling, oh to be able to cure the ills of the world.yet we are not God aye? we can not even if we had 'power' how to use it? I have found as you may have noted that not all people want help? In Nepal the beggar children tore my heart out :( Thanks so much for the entry see you in the new contest..just right for you..Let's Get Serious. Congrad's Light & Love

    Congratulations with this moving write, Joann. Would be a culture shock seeing these hungry children beg,:( Love the last verse! Would be impossible "not to meddle". God bless you and yours! Hugs, Mikki

    you chose an awesome way to do this challenge, using the common words of Egyptians on the street. I very much like your entry into this contest and I hope it does GREAT.

    I love what you've done above Joann might you be able to expand it? If it is for me? with say the next verse a climax and the last verse a conclusion using the same form? [Thanks so much for the heads up on the Dusk poem apparently I can't count NP I'll fix it now you have been so kind.] Light & Love

    I spent some time in Egypt and while I was in Cairo, I did not see beggars. In fact, if anyone even looked sideways at tourists, the security would send them away. Interesting poem, well done. Lee

    My husband and I lived there in 1978 and 1979. Things may have changed. We were told that they were actually stolen from the country side and maimed intentionally to get money from the foreigners. We ususally gave them food they could eat immediately.

    This is a very powerful write my friend! I'm amazed at how the world acts around the maimed and the handicapped, especially children that need money! It's too bad that this stuff happens, and you have described the perfectly in this fabulous poem of yours! Great Work!!
