Mourn, mourn! For the thousands fleeing from their homes when the bombs dropped and death rained from torrid skies; Mourn, mourn! For those pulverized in the streets mixing blood and sand, steel and plastic – fusing burning human flesh and glass in depleted uranium. ~*~*~*~ Becoming one with all that is: what a simple feat that children, dogs, mice and blades of grass can accomplish with ease when war falls from the oppressor's lips and its fire spews from heaven – did you not hear the monster pray before he gave the word? ~*~*~*~ Mind dead, heart blind the power-butchers kill the innocent claiming it their divine right, no, more: their sacred duty. It's a matter of interpretation (not to be confused with questions of morality or basic human decency): ~*~*~*~ Did not a Master once say the kingdom of heaven belongs to little children? There you have it: kill them now while they remain children and give them back to God – kills two birds with one smart bomb: gets them out of the way so they don't grow up to be rebels against the invader – sorry, against the Chosen Ones. ~*~*~*~ If this seems an oxymoron – what's your take on it? Where were you when prayers aimed at heaven rained back down as cluster bombs? ~*~*~*~ “Now, Miss Liberty, How do you wish to pay for those bombs? American Express? Of course: thank you. A pleasure doing business!” (smile!) [This message has been edited by WindWalker (05-06-2005 06:44 PM).] |
