    Don't Laugh At Me:


    I'm a little boy with glasses, the one they call a geek
    a little girl who never smiles cuz I got braces on my teeth
    and I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep

    I am that
    kid on every playground, whose always chosen last
    a single teenage mother trying to overcome her past
    You don’t have to be my friend if it's too much to ask

    Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
    Don't get your pleasure from my pain
    In God's eyes we're all the same
    some day we'll all have perfect Wings
    Don’t laugh at me

    I'm a cripple on the corner
    You pass me on the street
    I wouldn't be out here begging if I had enough to eat
    and don't think I don’t notice that our eyes never meet
    I lost my wife and little boy when someone crossed that yellow line
    The day we layed'em in the ground was the day I lost my mind
    Right now I'm down to holding this little cardboard sign

    Don't laugh at me, Don't call me names
    Don't get your pleasure from my pain
    In God's eyes we're all the same
    Someday we'll all have perfect wings
    Don’t laugh at me

    I'm Fat, I'm thin
    I'm Short, I'm tall
    I'm deaf, I'm blind
    Hey aren't we all

    Don't laugh at me, Don't call me names
    Don't get your pleasure from my pain
    In God's eyes we're all the same
    Someday we'll all have perfect wings
    Don't laugh at me

    Darfur
    "The situation in Darfur has worsened dramatically in the past two days. Sudanese army troops, against their commitments to the U.N., have been denying humanitarian access to refugees (internally displaced persons) and forcibly relocating them.

    A story in Thursday's Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A23520-2004Nov3.html) describes the situation and quotes the U.N. envoy to Sudan as saying there were "strong indications that war crimes and crimes against humanity have occurred in Darfur on a large and systematic scale."

    To express your concern, you may call the Sudanese mission to the United Nations (212-573-6033) in New York to urge that international access to the camps be restored and that no involuntary relocation of civilians take place.

    U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan can be reached by fax at 212-963-3511.

    You can send email to:

    Sudanese Embassy, info@sudanembassy.org
    Sudanese mission to the U.N., sudan@un.int
    President George W. Bush, president@whitehouse.gov "
