Where Were You

"When the World Looks Away" looks to a future when people are making decisions based upon the impact they will have on all people on the planet, not their own personal gain.  To a future in which the equality of all people is at the root of our individual and representative decision-making processes.  It was written in the spirit of Dr. King's seminal "I Have a Dream" speech.
