All Comments on 'inhumanity africa's orphans'

Not twenty minutes before I read this, I had snorted in annoyance at a starving baby commercial interupting my good mood as I watched a baseball game. You shamed me, Blue Sky Beauty. Thank you. You have a beautiful heart.

are given faces by your sad but specific words. I am in tears. The question begs- what to do?

I'm not using the thermometer. Your poem is great.

I'll join in the shame, here. What's worrying about rent, comparatively? Pointed to the point of uncomfortable, which I think was the goal. Bullseye.

no therm.

....Blue. The best poetry I've seen from you.

I've seen those big eyed hollow cheeked babies swarmed over with flies and I have often wished we could do something. But what?

Thank you, Blue!

Yet you captured it so well.

I think I'm going to need a drink by the time I get through all the other entries LOL

Great job. ;-)

Loved the use of gluttonous imagery. Immediately knew what you believed to be inhuman. 'Glazed with hunger's icing,' to me is a perfect contrast.

.....have we switched TV channels to avoid these images. Images true to the reality. To live with such abundance while others starve is such a sin. Next time you eat out go round the back and look at the wasted food in the garbbage then remember those eyes.

BSB - this is good. :-)
