I can see that poetry runs in the family. I hope that when your son becomes famous someday, he'll remember that I predicted it.

this is a very nice and touching poem..great!

I'd say you have a winner there, Lee! Two winners...your son and his work here. How'd he get so knowledgeable about putting history and facts into a poem? More to genetics than meets the eye! ! ! xxxElysabeth

Glad to find someone who is trying to help desperate people. Poets have done a lot in the past addressing castratrophies and other calamities. Sometimes the world listens and responds, hopefully this poem will help send a louder message.

Wow, amazing write, quite factual infact. This is something i really feel bad about as a human being, as its now 2007 and people are still living in poverty...don't even ave clean water etc..all the things we take for granted...we so need to pull ourselves together as a race, and put money and politics aside..people's lives are at stake here....5 stars my young friend..

This is definitely one amazing poem from one AMAZING MAN! ! ! Lee, this kids is truly one of a kind! Please tell him to keep on writing and publish his books! I love all of you so much. All of your kids are very gifted like you and Dave. I am very proud of ALL of you. XOXOXO ;) Cecelia
