A handful of misery, a pocket full of hope

A handful of misery

This very simplistic collage was created after reading an article some time ago now about the plight of Iraqi children in their 'Liberated' homeland of Iraq.

On a daily basis children would find twisted pieces of shrapnel, bullets (Some of which were live), spent shells, and many other remnants of war.

Some children had lost their lives due to standing on land mines, and others now are suffering the debilitating after effects of the depleted uranium that was used in the missiles and bombs so kindly dropped by their 'Liberators'.

Despite all of this the children play, and live their lives as best they can under the most difficult of circumstances.

This is the true testament to the unbreakable spirit of mankind in the face of war and adversity.
