Now the people have
been onto the streets,
that felt death shudder
through their bones and
other families have felt
the shudder, through loved
ones on distant streets.
The architects of death
listen to their private
grieving consolations, for the
sons and daughters who
will never return now.
Another war to justify
looms large on a
ever darkening and shameful
horizon for good people,
living under imperial rule.

Susan Surely the war against the British is how your democracy was formed? Now it is coming full circle to an imperial like regime?Your rights are being eroded everyday..when you have those who should be leading you and following laws set out to protect your rights..but instead they say ''we dont need to follow those laws, we will do as we like, listen in to who we like too''.are you living in democracy or a ''imperial'' like society?
You get told what to do..how to do it..and surpressed by the media if the powers that be dont like it..sounds like imperialsm to me?

Have a good day...

Goldenrose.

Surely you missed my point...

So I tried to help by fixing it up a little..

May your day in England be as good.
