War. I hate it.
Maybe I’m selfish, but the man I love is over there.
And everyday he is gambling with his life…

I hate it.
I want him back.
I want all the troops back.
Why can’t we all just love each other?

I honestly don’t get it.
I seriously don’t.
No one likes death.
No one likes loosing the ones they care about…

So why have a war? Over simple things?
Everyone should share. Everyone should care.
Individuals. Groups. Nations. Everyone.
There should be no bombings.
No attacks.
No murders.
No torture.
No wars.
No HATE.

I don’t get it!
This world would be so wonderful
if everyone just LOVED!
Is it so hard to ask?

It makes me so angry…
But I suppose anger is what fuels all of this.
I suppose I’m a hypocrite.
But what can I do?

Utopia is a long way from our reach,
but people like you and me, not only
wish for it, but strive for it in
all of our deeds, and words.

I feel for you.



I went through similar times back in the late '60s
and the sentiments don't change.

My heart goes out to you.  I can feel your pain and how much you want all of our soldiers to return home.  I do too - and I hope that your love returns to you and your life together can resume (with no war to interfere).

I wish that the nations of the world could all live in peace.  I think that man's greed will never allow that to happen, but it is a really beautiful thought.

Thank you for sharing your pain in such a creative manner.

Thinking of you ~
Alison
