 I was sitting in the yard with my book when Nikisha appeared at the wall with a couple of pieces of paper in her hand.

"What are those?"

"Nothing. Just poems. I wrote them in school. Would you like to read them?"

One was about the holocaust (with a picture of Hitler at the bottom). The other was about a child hiding in the rubble of a bombed-out town.

Good lord...what did she have to say about them?

The holocaust poem was all questions- "why the Jews?" "Why the holocaust?" The other was the better of the two. The child was crouching in the ruins with her doll wondering what on earth had happened to her.

Fascinating. We try to shelter children from such things. It never seems to work, does it?

How old is she, to be contemplating such deep questions?
