Soles of soldiers uplifted,
backhanded V’s in return...

Signs of hate
and death,
and

‘Vengeance is mine’

someone once said in
a holy book I once read.

How many more
must be blown apart
before we accept
and give love in return
to each human heart?

I bow my head, sigh,
and wonder

WHY?

Sadly Kacy,  not many remember who has the
right of vengeance...

Thanx...

(big hugggssssssss) With this in mind, let me make one thing clear when I say that I "support" the troops! I support the troops only for their safety, not to do whatever the president or the government tells them to do and kill those in revenge! (sad sigh) Sadly I think many are supporting the troops under the latter, and that just breaks my heart! (sad sigh) Well in 2004 I'm going to help make an effort to get Bush out of office and hopefully we can get a more peace-loving president in office who treats the soldiers like soldiers, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Thanks for reading, Dixie.
Noah, it's such a total mess. The Fallujah and Baghdad scenes make me ill, and I see no hope in sight.
