killing has become
the answer to all problems
has the world gone mad

what happened to love
why is the word tolerance
suddenly unknown

shooting or stabbing
we don't argue anymore
where did it go wrong

today Anna Lindh
two years ago three thousand
and for what reason

I can't comprehend
the only thing left for me
is cry in silence




Like scattered leaves...my words will flow

Titia, I'm so sorry ... it is indeed a terrible tragedy and my prayers go out to her family and friends.

There are days when I think the world has gone mad.

Hugs to you dear friend, Marti

Sometimes I think the world has indeed gone mad, Titia. It has always been that way and I'm afraid always will. All we can do is hope for the best.

I wish they could all have the heart and love you do.....

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Titia, I ask myself the same questions always, and that is why I take an active role in standing up for what I believe in and going against what I believe is wrong, protesting against war, protesting against Bush, protesting against politicians who make decisions lacking love! (sad sigh) We have no choice but to speak if we are going to try to live, God Bless You, I pray with you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Titia, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

your post had me read the article online...

It is hard to believe that someone so well liked and important to their society could have that happen to them in a shopping center.

No place is safe today.
