Your poem touched me, Matthew...such a soul-searching plea to all of us. Thank you so much for your kind, supportive words on my poem, "A Rose Is A Rose," which echos the theme of your poem. 7, Sandra

This is powerful my friend. I know it is everywhere. The ugly truth about life. I love the powerful message here. One should vote, to make a difference,... sadly Matt, most voting all about who's side we are on... Thank you for the soup mail... LINDA

Already with you on this one, good to be shoulder to shoulder. Each small difference we make individually moves mountains collectively. Let's all write it and live it. Kind regards, Ian
