wow
So simple yet works in a much better way than people protesting/talking/arguing about it. People don't listen when people protest about it yet reading this immediately gets you thinking.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
