As I scrolled through my Facebook news feed, I discovered the following artwork here, being shared by the page, “The People’s Uprising,” and originally posted it to my own wall, along with commentary…

"Condemns 12/14/12 Connecticut shooting: 'Those who died today were children - beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. They had their entire lives ahead of them - birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own.' Orders drone strikes in Pakistan, which kill over 150 children. Offers no condolences."

This world in arms is not spending money, alone. It’s spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.” Dwight D. Eisenhower

Allison H.: Keep rockin girl. You always hit it right. And often make me cry. Good job!

Rayn: Thank you, Allison. I appreciate your kind words.
