Let's brag of our son's unseen bombings,
boast of offshore hurlings of death
on dark youths we've saved embalmings
then praise Jesus in the same breath

They had leaflets to warn of our (2nd) coming
lots of notice to lose hearts and minds,
we, the generous ones who were slumming
they, in ignorance partners in crime

But as long as our jimmy is homebound
and was part of the winning squad,
as long as he saved a couple o' rounds
for the next bastard with the wrong God

friendship is unnecessary...like philosophy...like art
it has no survival value...rather it is one of those things that gives value to survival...

These times are really difficult, painful, horrible.  Some come home, some don't.  We all bear the scars...

life....an ambitious name you have..but,    
      hopefully everyone loves life. Thanks

Kahlil..When I scar, I scream...thank you

Spirit..Thank you for your notice

Midnitesun..I know you, like I don't suffer
        in silence when witnessing violence.
        This may have been a bit much for
        some I fear.
