IT’S A REAL WAR It’s not just a simple War of words Or just some Partisan ideal It’s not just politics as usual This is a War that’s very Real. Those of us here safe at Home Can watch those battles on TV We seem to become immune to it With all the violence we see. Those we watch are Real People Someone’s loved one or a friend While we can switch the channel They must watch until the very end. We feel sorry when we hear That somebody has Died We might even shed a tear But not like all, they’ve cried. It seems much easier to say If this War is wrong or right When we don’t have someone We’ve sent over there to Fight. The politicians play their sides Sometimes blind, refuse to see If they can’t cross their party lines They never can be, really Free. They must admit their mistakes Have the will to change their mind Instead of following their leaders Like the blind leading the blind. For this War is a Real War People get hurt, People die And we must each know the answer When we ask ourselves the question, “Why?” Del "Abe" Jones Mankind's greatest accomplishment is not the revolution of technology, it is the evolution of creativity. |

Thank you dear Abe for this intense reminder. It is a real war yes and I heard that the number of soldiers who died is over two thousand. Not counting all the Iraqi people who die every day. It's wrong, totally wrong. May awareness dawn in the leaders' minds ... Soon! Love, Margherita |
