Yemen, Hamtramck, MI., U.S.A., North American Continent
It is in ruin. Yemen is under siege.
This ancient land bombarded by Saudi airstrike, note news reports.
Yemen citizens reside in Hamtramck, and,Dearborn, Michigan, among other cities across our beloved United States.
The wars in Syria, Iraq, Palestine, and Israel, also, stir feelings that sit restlessly within me. Pictures of innocent and bloodied and bombed children bother me no end.
They do.
Who will stand up against the aggressors?
Who will walk with the metropolitan-Detroit area Yemen people? The victims in Syria? Iraq? Who will talk and negotiate 'safe air space' for the children? Who?
Who will walk with residents of metropolitan Detroit, MI., Focus:HOPE, a civil rights and human services icon for over fifty years, founded by the late Father William Cunningham and Eleanor Josaitis, for example? Thousands walked in my Motown Sunday at the same time thousands walked in Dearborn, MI., and, pressed for Hussan, for justice, against oppressors?
Who?
Who will stand with the immigrant citizens in Hamtramck, MI., for example, and, urge safety and security in this 2.2 square-mile town where parents asked me during the Labor Day parade: "Why do our children have to breathe in the marijuana smoke in our neighborhood?"
Why?
Tell us Hamtramck City Manager Katrina Powell?
Tell us Hamtramck Police Chief Anne Moise?
Why do you refuse to restrict illegal 'smoke'? When I witnessed at the Hamtramck City Council, you sat passively.
Why?
The dignity and worth of every human person deserves security, safety, more, no?
Stand up with us, Hamtramck, MI., City Council, and, make a difference in a town where parents care about the livelihood of our precious children who play, run, laugh and live as children should.
Are you with us?
Will you lead and enforce ordinances and laws like the Warren, MI., Mayor Jim Fouts who demands 'Fresh Air' as others and he walks or runs or plays in the streets of this ever-striving safer and securer City?
Let us know, please, diverse, rich, and beautiful residents, parents and grandparents, entrepreneurs, mosques, churches, educators, Drug-Free Hamtramck Coalition, Block Clubs, and, Hamtramck, MI., City Manager and City Council?
Work for us, please!
