The Innocent Suffer

Children don't ask to be born

babies are born innocent

There is nothing as sweet as a smile

Children can be raised with morality, taught decency, and given an opportunity to succeed in life; not a guarantee, but a chance to make something of their lives.

But when a country's leaders do no good; the UN looks out their windows and tolerates what they see; and the resident Archbishop doesn't do enough --- after years of neglect and ignoring what their eyes see,

children grow up to be teens, and teens grow to adulthood, and adults produce more babies --- and the cycle continues.

Then when tragedy strikes, the children suffer from hunger, the children become orphans, and the young men

do the only thing they have learned

and that is

to fight

to fight over food

to fight each other

instead of fighting poverty and ignorance

And now the destitute are being airlifted

to Florida

For those interested A Pictoral History of Haiti.

Also: Cayman Islands experienced a 5.8 Earthquake. Cayman Islands is near Haiti, and along a landmass just below the water, extending from Florida = All the vacation Islands (if you map search "islands off of FLorida" and choose the satellite view).
