American warships today bombed a small mountainous town of Bargal in the autonomous state of punt land, Somalia with the aim of destroying terrorist hideouts in that locality.
Balancing itself over blue waters
Alert and carefully on the look out
Guided by instincts of war on terror
It inhales ashes of fire
Exhales live embers of danger
At times it coughs out death
And certainly sneezes misery
It is the American warship
Patrolling in Somali water ways
To intercept sea pirates
And to hunt down terrorists
They took aim at Bargal today
To flush out terrorists
Is bombing a solution
To "The war on Terror?"

I hope that our prayers for your safety can bring even a small amount of comfort to you and your family. These are the only words I can say for surely deaf ears can not hear our pleas to stop all fighting. Lady J
Your poem highlights the fact that war is no repector of persons. Thank God one day war will cease to exist, when the King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords Comes in to reign .
This is chaos and insanity, my friend. I have trouble sleeping when I think about what is going on in your "neck of the woods." War is NEVER the answer. Love and peace to you,
Well, if all the jihadists will put down their weapons there would be no need for bomings, but they will not. I have already had family and friends hurt, injured for life and the death of one when the Twin Towers were taken down. I pray for you, your family, your country, but have you prayed for me, my family, my country?
I do not like war, no one does. I pray for peace, but sometimes war is necessary to rid the earth of evil.
Abdi Noor millions were asking that same question when we were attacked. I hate war, but I also hate the idea of living under jihadists laws to suit them. We are in that catch 22, and until both sides stand down there will be war. The Jihad has said they will destroy us. Just today another plot of terror was foiled when they arrested 4 men trying to place bombs in two New York airports that would have destroyed them.Do you have an answer for what America is to do? I pray my heart and soul out for you and your country every day while praying for my own. I don't know what else I can do...It's a corrupt world we live in,and not enough of us are praying enough to change it.Blessings to you...
Love,
Eileen

No, it is not a solution Abdi and I wish I knew what was, but what I do know is that your words speak volumes about the people who have to live and suffer through this. Powerful write, take care, love Theresa.

Grab those side-irons, saddle up and join former Civil War sharpshooter Luther Henry for a ride into pure terror, western-style…think ‘Wild Wild West’ meets ‘The X-Files’.

Not if any innocents are caught in the path of those bombs.
I do not like war, no one does. I pray for peace, but sometimes war is necessary to rid the earth of evil.
