the horror

[arely staircase]

I don't want to be duped or misled into a war but those pictures and that video, they look like the kids I teach every day. my God how do people do this to one another (whatever the truth is)? Those children wearing the same cloths my students wear, probably playing, thinking, fearing, laughing about the same childlike things. Sometimes they cry when I mildly scold them for goofing around during bathroom breaks while others are waiting. And there they are, their little bodies laid out because of someone's political agenda.
