ONE-YEAR-OLDS

Dateline New Orleans:
September 1, 2013: 
Londyn Samuels, 1
shot dead while
wrapped in her babysitter's
arms

Dateline New York City
September 1, 2013
Antiq Hennis, 1
shot dead in the head
while in his stroller
as his dad crossed
the street

What kind of world
do we live in 
where shootings
is the answer
to anything, where
babies are the 
price exacted
in a war they don't
even know is 
happening?
