Our Brother?s Keeper - Or is That Somebody Else?s Job?
2008-05-15 09:18:00 Lately, this question has been circling my awareness and it seems to be screaming at me from all places.

Blotted
2008-05-07 04:55:00 The clouds blotted the color from the sky leaving cool grey to whisper its song My melancholy sang along and peered to find the sun The path was strewn with trash and disregard and I stepped over it too tired to fight the battle of apathy the arrogrance of self absorption Birds remained hidden and clustered in trees ignoring their hunger and opting for safety Quietly chirping tomorrow will be better fluttering ...

Scarcity
