I have come to the conclusion
That there is entirely
Too much suffering
In this world
From my perch in purgatory
I observe society
Snapshots of planet earth
Agent Orange birth defects
Syria and Palestine
Gulags and starvation
But there’s always a glimmer of hope
A charity that builds skateparks
For the troubled places of the world
So these forgotten kids
Can hop on their wheelie board
Their Roller Plank
Their Stunt Stick
And feel the satisfying slap
Of metal and wood on concrete
That means so much and feels so right
God bless these young volunteers
Proving there is still some good
In this world

A quality skate park to a young skater is a thing of beauty and great value. It’s not just a way of providing entertainment; it’s a place of community, creativity and solace to kids doing it tough.
This organization caught my eye as a thing of beauty in an ugly world.

The skateboarding community is really one of the most kindest and accepting people. I’m lucky to have a few as friends. 🙂
