I'd forgotten just how powerful this poem is. Hope we live to see a time when its message will be less true, and less needed. Let's get back to work on that.
who is reading this? it is so done so well! and the selection of photographs is beautiful and intelligent. i have shared this on FB and Twitter, can't think of a better way to celebrate the fourth of july!
it´s not easy to change a whole system, where money is more important than any human right, but the financial crisis has shown, that we are sitting in a house of glass, ready to brake any time...
Very powerful!
