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. 07.28.2021 For William Kekaula's "Julyme" contest

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!

How brutal is that, you sure have hi-lighted this Jo, with a well structured and meaningful poetry.

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
