Refusal to not mourn a child....

REFUSAL TO NOT MOURN THE DEATH OF A CHILD......

I cried, He said, for the first time

In a long age, I am

Not usually moved

By tales of poverty, misery, death

He said.

But this time, when his brother

Broke down, and the other men stood round

And supported him

That moment was too sad, I cried

He said

I cried, not just for the boy

But for myself

Because I am inadequate

Incapable, helpless

To change this world, by any means

He said

This world in which children die

Here, anywhere, everywhere

Of casual violence

Of intentional hatred

Of ignorance, disease, greed

He said.
