This again was a draft of what became ethnic cleansing but with the Iraq hostage taking, it seems appropriate and is as I originally wrote it. Ethnic cleansing, Fertility Dance were driven by this. Dave From the pain that was borne of whose vengeance Killing those who wished to give From the decisions that had to be made Saving the few for the many From the wish to be cleaned Burrowing all aside From the fear of death cleansed From the relief of salvation provide From the silliness of explanation After it is done Cleansing of the mind Cleansing of the bone Cleansing when it's done Thinking yourself a hero |

quote: Dave this is so painfully eloquent! Taking hostages and killing them, what a mean means to show "power" indeed! Love, Margherita |
