Eric Cockrell - Snail Crossing.... (Part Nine)

the lives of every child,
of every color, every nationality,
and every language,
whether male or female,
born in or out of wedlock,
born in wealth or poverty...
are sacred.

and therein lies
the greatest responsibility
of the human race...
and at this moment,
the greatest failure!

Eric Cockrell
