HARBINGER

alas -- you capricious cad
you did not heed my warning
one too many barbs has brought wrath
place desiccated floral in the fountain

no! no! forget about repentance
it is repudiated
you say now that you meant no harm
but you caused much pain
no -- it was not your hands that killed
your words were like poison
and your young victim
wasn't strong enough.
---------
NOTE:
There was a news report of a boy who killed himself. He couldn't take being tormented by his classmates about his weight. One day, he couldn't face another day of abuse so he checked himself out of this world. Being fat, being gay, being mentally slower -- is difficult enough without being mentally & physically abused by uncaring people. When I heard this report, I couldn't stop thinking about how unhappy this kid was in his short life. And I wonder if the tormenters even felt bad. My heart hurts for the 'babies' who feel alone.

NOTICE BOARD

Hi SPT readers. I haven't posted anything new in several months. I don't want to post about political issues so until I'm inspired with something new or finish a story ....

Feel free to post comments about something you have read at SPT because I do like hearing from my readers even if it is just a hello.

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
