The following article looks ate the incidence of both child causalities and fatalities in the ongoing terror in Yemen. Today, it seems that nations have no concern for the children caught up in conflict. State agencies have not evolved as humanitarians, they have merely improved their methods of slaughtering people, including children. That is a […]
Donald Trump has managed to turn children into statistics on the US border with Mexico. His avoidable policy of separating young children from their parents and placing them into cages has obvious repercussions for the mental and emotional well-being of those who are so vulnerable. Yet there are many who would rush to defend such […]
We will all have heard about Trump’s barbaric treatment of the children of immigrants who have been detained whilst crossing into the US. As the parents are imprisoned, their children, some just toddlers, are taken away and placed in cages. Apologists for such right-wing fascist practices rush to defend or excuse the measures. But really, […]

As even the most casual observer takes a look at our global societies, it can be seen that there remains a terrible shortage of care and protection for the most vulnerable of our species, our children. In the UK, for example, schools are still being closed as the number of children increases. In 2012, there […]
The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey Some of you may be familiar with this story from the movie of the same name starring Sennia Nanua, Gemma Arterton and Paddy Considine. I confess to not having seen it and was oblivious to the story when I first picked it up. What a pleasure […]
The continuing spate of gun deaths in Dublin has once again thrown the spotlight upon life in our nation’s capital. Shootings occur now on a sometimes daily basis. Drugs gangs, some apparently employing former Republican militants as mercenaries, are waging war upon each other and, as a result, are terrorizing local communities for no reasons […]
This piece of verse is a strong comment upon the Church child abuse scandal that shocked, and still shocks, the world of Christianity.
