the cannon songs my najaf do they make you cry is the music of your wound a song of the morning dying where are your dancers why do they wear black and eat of the dust why do they make angels out of the red mud and burn their skin to singe the noses of dreamers of allawi where are your poems of maqtada my najaf why do the women groan like birthing mothers with the pain of empty wombs ______________ Dark |

I was beginning to write something about Najaf this morning, but the words just wouldn't flow. I'm glad they did from yours, DS. It's a tragic scene, and you've written of it with great sensitivity. (and sensitivity is a good thing, despite what some recent media meanies have suggested) |

Painful, sad song of sorrow, well penned. Almost as if written of old, songs sung of past sorrows in ages gone. Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Good write..it's interesting however..how this is "holy ground" to all, including us, with everyone but the morons fighting for nothing against the wishes of the majority of the Iraqi people...?.... |
