It breaks my heart.

It breaks my heart that we treat each other with such little respect.

With so little basic human decency.

We become so indignant when someone doesn’t hold the door open for us.

When someone cuts us off on the street.

When our professors write a bad question on an exam.

When someone speaks physically impotent words about us or what we’ve chosen to believe.

We expect someone to speak up and bring justice to our situation.

Yet… at the same time

A child in Gaza is shot in the back of the head…

And who will fight for them?

And for what?

What could a child have possibly done so wrong

To warrant being shot

When the most dangerous weapon they may have access to

Are perhaps some scraps from the street

How can one defend themselves against a powerful machine gun
