Quality Marketing Solutions: Community building

Amidst all the lovely good that is being done in the world there is far greater evil counter acting that good. Not a good theme to live in but indeed it exists. I myself try to create a bubble that keeps negativity away from me. Some don't exercise their own ability to keep harm out of their life. By either surrounding yourself with non healthy folk or just plainly not valuing yourself! 


 

So Kadesh, our youth Ambassador, witnessed a horrific scene as she was walking with friends from her high school. Her eyes and heart were affected to the point she wrote a poem. Here are her words:

Violence

What is violence?

Violence is the aggression on others
violence is the brutality on children 
Violence is the cruelty on animals
Violence is the pain a girl suffers from sexual abuse

What is violence?

Violence is the bloodshed of our loved ones, wounded by the bullets from guns or the stabs from pocketknives
Violence is the lives lost fighting for our country
Violence is the loss trying to protect themselves and their children from terrorists
Violence is the pain people suffer from something they can't get rid of. 

What is violence?

Violence is the attacks that, out of no where, come straight at you 
Violence is the feeling you get not celebrating a holiday 
Violence is the pain you feel when you see violence on other people

That's what violence is.... disrespectful

Kadesha: I wrote this poem because I saw a brutal fight outside my house and the girl was covered in blood. I like blood and all, but this was sick. That's what inspired me to write this poem, not the fight, but the pain I saw in that girl's eyes.The pain represented guilt like she started the fight, which she didn't, and her life is over. By the way, she's still in the hospital, I got to see her the other day.

*Kadesha,15, attends a high school in NE DC and is our youth ambassador; she works hard spreading our message in the teen world!
