Little Boy, what happened here?
Why has blood spilled from your ear?
Still more is running down your lips,
and eyes as red as the lunar eclipse.

For all those who are curious about what disease this is, it's smallpox.

You can view the photo here... [link] . Unfortunately, it is so widely used on websites that I have no idea where it originally came from. I don't even remember what site I pulled it from in the first place. The picture has been in a computer folder for a good seven years or more. If you know where it comes from, note me and I'll gladly credit the source.

Too see detailed information on smallpox, please visit the WHO (World Health Organization) fact sheet here...[link]

I was wondering if I could use this as wallpaper for my work computers? I am an Emergency Response Planner and smallpox is on the top of our list for bioterrorism concerns and this is a perfect reminder of why I do what I do.

Platte County Missouri. It has part of Kansas City in its confines. We had the flooding last year up here.
