In Need of Help...

I'm going to be very serious for a moment.  We are all very concerned for the safety of those in our country being affected by the hurricane, but I want to take a minute to write about some other areas that have been devastated by them.  Haiti has been especially ravaged by hurricanes this season.  I saw some very heartbreaking photos of the dead, which included large numbers of children, and was brought to tears.  I won't post the link for the photos because it truly was horrific.  We live in a country, that despite its needed reforms, provides quite a lot of aid to those in need, and where the over all population lives better than some of the wealthiest individuals in poorer countries.  I wrote this poem after seeing these pictures.  I was also thinking of all those who die on a regular basis in the Congo and various other parts of the world with similar problems.  I think we all need to think about what this means not to just America as a country, but to all of us as a human race.  I am placing a link to UNICEF here.  Please donate what you can, when you can to their cause.
