The Aftermath
When there's gun-fire and blasts,L
ives wrecked in a mad-mans task,
In the hurt and the grief
Many children believe,
We have a cure.
There's illness and sorrows
Lives wrecked, not tomorrows
In the hurt and the grief,
Many children believe,
We have a cure.
Politicians and their policies,
Lives wrecked, nations politics,
In the hurt and the grief,
Many children believe,
We have a cure.
Parents toil and strife,
Suffering other pitfalls of life,
In the hurt and the grief,
Many children believe,
We have a cure. ~Angela Henderson
It's one thing to handcuff and arrest the criminals amongst us ( from the petty thief to the corporate swindler), but the line should be drawn when it comes to children. Check here:http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4475513.stm This video is a snapshot of the downward spiral of US society into a quasi-police state (http://www.sfu.ca/cfrj/fulltext/chauhan.pdf ) divorced from any form common sense or reason. The child is clearly having a temper tantrum ( is this abnormal?) which is clearly of no danger to anyone. She lightly slaps a teacher with a level force that would barely swat a fly. Before the police handcuff her, she is seen calmly sitting down and being quiet. Still they persist to treat her like a criminal--at the age of 5!! Zero tolerance some call it in defense of the authoritarian zeitgeist (a constant nightmare overhanging darkly)...how about zero intelligence.
