See why this judge chose to spend night in jail

Why this blog? Well I wrote a recent poem “We are the Children“ and attached a fairly graphic video that shows the reality of children suffering under war. This was in reference to Turkeys National Children day, a holiday I am sure many are not aware off.
 
Poem We Are the Children
 
It’s not easy to see, and was difficult to post the video, but we can never bury our heads in the sand and ignore especially children’s cries for help. The first step to any solution is always awareness of the problem, of the issues.
 
That being said, the conflicts of today are complex and not always black and white, nor are the solutions, the purpose is not to pick sides, countries, politics or religions, simply to say, where ever you are from and who ever you are, forgot not the children!
 
We tend to see so much violence and bad news, we have become a cynical bunch at times, so to counter my last poem, I thought why not show something a little more heart warming, more up lifting, and well the good side of humanity.
 
I found that story, where Justice, the Law and Compassion all met at the same place. It may not seem a huge story or a big deal to most, however to see a Judge, show such compassion, to be able to succeed at dealing with the law but also true justice and compassion, I found this heartwarming, I hope you do to!
