Little girls of five or six. And a boy of thirteen, watching over them, as they slide on the large toy that is meant to be there, for sliding and breaking one's bones.

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebearers fought are still at issue around the globe..... We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans....unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this Nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world. ... more Kat Kat's poetry Fri, 10 Aug 2007 02:15:45 GMT /section-427-kat-s-poetry#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/5511 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/5511 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A5511 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-5468-the-color-of-my-passion https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-5468-the-color-of-my-passion After having been on a writing hiatus for several months I am trying to get back in the groove again!
