Whose Blood

Whose Blood? patience, Prudence my mother would say be mindful of others at school or play mom, I’m right here my heart is so sore all I want is to even the score Judy kicked me and pushed me down and Molly laughed like a stupid clown pray for them darling they know no better I came home the next day with blood on my sweater ©Kathryn McLoughlin Collins April 7, 2012

This made me smile the nostalgia of advice, yet how often did we take it, provokation is so very hard to walk away from....real and honest thanks ... karen

What a chilling piece beautifully composed. Bullying has been up front in the news of late... kids can be cruel, but must learn to understand the consequences of their actions. A significant and timely piece. Love, Keith
