I ...Thanks so much for your thoughts and the poem. I am so moved by the police officer standing guard, too! Recently I went to a photo exhibit and heard a talk by the photographer who had marched in our Civil Rights Movement with Martin Luther King, Jr. The police protection then was not always so noble. In Marquette Park, many windshields were broken and many cars ended up in a lagoon. But in the instance in your poem, there is kindness, respect, duty, and care to combat the momentary rage. And from that, I feel great hope. Again, thank you.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294176875047610623.post-9277645786020954942010-08-20T21:12:08.520-07:002010-08-20T21:12:08.520-07:00Thank you, Nancy and thank you, Maureen ~

I find their thinking unfathomable.<br /><br />I invite you to read my own poem, "Mosque", which I posted Wednesday on my blog.<br /><br />The more of us speak out, the better.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13290283101378474845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294176875047610623.post-91810235358401959082010-08-20T09:30:41.548-07:002010-08-20T09:30:41.548-07:00thank you so much for the poem. i really cannot be...thank you so much for the poem. i really cannot believe the whole flap over the possible mosque near ground zero. i thought we had a first amendment in this country, and, i thought most people knew that....loved and love it.Nancy Devinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10895934793253274506noreply@blogger.com
