Sad that a year has gone by and your poem is as relevant, perhaps even more so, as it was a year ago.

Definitely heart breaking and so sorry it is even truer now than it was a year ago.

Blessed Diane, Absolutely correct!

I started replying to Susan's comment, making a typo which I was going to correct, lost the mouse and my first paragraph, as I can't see to well at the moment because of recent eye surgery.

So, I'll sum it up by saying some people can be conditioned by those they look up to for leadership and guidance to commit cruel atrocities, such as torturing people, raping them, and of course murder. The Zionist IDF leads the world now in barbaric behavior in spite of their justification of the Palestinian Holocaust.

"then and only then,

will humanity be worthy of salvation,"

Will we ever be worthy? I fear we won't most days. I guess I need more faith, that things will eventually work out all right, but some nights...

Yes, I read it. Dennis makes some good points. Sad to say, no one in power listens to him.

Sorry, deliberately, not that strange spelling. It must have to do with an absolute lack of love within a person who can do these things.
