I just "turned the corner" and saw guns and sharp swords in the hands....
of young children. I was shocked and awed by the blood flowing in the streets. I "turned the corner" and saw hatred in the eyes of old women. I saw hungry people scratching in the dirt for a bite of food. I heard the loud cannons singing with the thunder.

I "turned the corner" and I saw desolate men, in ragged shirts, standing in long lines, looking for help. I saw a large deficit painted in the empty streets. I "turned the corner" and I saw the pit of gloom and destruction. People were running wildly with "the scream" echoing off the walls of politicians promises.

Yes, we are about to "turn the corner". Do not be shocked by what you see.
