Shout aloud! I stood before a cold gray field I swore I heard them cry Tell the truth about the war Or millions more people will die, You must shout aloud! Staying silent no one will hear Let them know war is wrong Tell them there is nothing to fear, Raise your voices if you will Or they will go to certain death I never heard the final shot Don’t stay silent be my breath, When all is dead or dieing you will remember what I have said Speak now and end the suffering Before humanity is shot in the head, Annie 1-11-2008 |

I certainly agree with you, Annie. War is decidedly wrong! Yes, shout out loud but so many have deaf ears unfortunately. I wish it wasn't so. Helen |

Your so right Helen, I am afraid they are sadly And thank you Bobby it seems I write better when it's about death |
