A ghost of a fire
still burning bright
The burning reminds us
of the ongoing fight
the fight for justice
against "their" wars
Against "their" peace
Against "their" Profit
Against them!

They say that
our cause
is not worth a death
but someone dies
for our cause
every minute
For "Our Freedom"
For "Our rights"
For "Our Lives"
For Us!

Do we start on Witches next

Attack all countries equally

That is all anyone asks

this poem makes a very powerful statement about the contradictions within humanity. I enjoy the simple strength...and empathize with the passion that is the subject.

(tears fall down my cheeks) This is EXACTLY what's going on here, and Bush is full of these deadly contradictions, making him a hypocrite! He goes to Martin Luther King's Jr's grave to honor him, yet how he has governed this nation is the opposite of Luther's non-violent, liberating approach. He calls war "peace" and vide versa somehow, and I'm not gettin' fooled from his arrogance! (sad sigh) This has happened way too long in our world and it is time we exercise those ideals again, ideals of innocence and love that don't contradict, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
