Joanna Daniel Poet Rhyme

Ihmo Graham Stuart Staines

A true missionary,
Working among lepers,
Cared for poor, a visionary,
Burnt alive with his two sons by a mob,
Locked in his own jeep, fire fetters,
Imagine how scary,
Killed for loving others.

Sam Kauffman August 15, 2021 at 9:54 AM A stunning, heart wrenching, jaw dropping story so well told Jo. Thank you for sharing it. Congratulations and kudos to you! Blessings.

William Kelii Kekaula August 14, 2021 at 9:21 PM A horrific end for such beautiful souls, Jo, and speaking for myself, you have revealed a person/situation I know naught of but I know of other good souls around the world in history who have met similar fates. My compliments on your honorable placement my friend, Aloha!

Victor Buhagiar July 28, 2021 at 3:15 AM I think I have heard about this incident. God knows everything, don't worry. Hugs.

Harry Horsman July 28, 2021 at 1:42 AM How brutal is that, you sure have hi-lighted this Jo, with a well structured and meaningful poetry.

Tom Cunningham July 28, 2021 at 12:43 AM So tragic Jo, he was only doing God's work, His wife stayed on continuing the work that he'd started. Good luck in the contest. Tom
