an angry write.

my sympathies to those who have been touched by terror's insanity.

God help us all. :(



have some planes
fly them into buildings and into fields
gives a whole new meaning to 9-1-1

have some bombs
blow up morning rush hour commuters/kids
send them on their way to eternity

have a child
train him/her up in the way he/she should go
dance when they die for the cause (aren't you proud)

say a prayer
as you detonate a church, mosque or synagogue
you've decided that you will answer their final prayer

have some poison
drop it into air conditioning systems
or let it seep into the water or food supply

have some guns
pull the trigger add to your killing spree
what are more mournful mothers' tears worth

have some nukes
nervously playing around with the button
will be the end of humanity as we know it

it isn't just for americans anymore
you are taking your own people with you
down the paths of twisted truth

when will it all end?
who is next on your list to suffer?
how many more will have to die? 


can't we just learn to get along?

You said it best in your introduction: "God help us all."

"The love of money is the root of all evil" and sadly, when too much is greedily owned by too few who do not give out of their wealth to support those less priveleged - then fair's certainly not fair!! There would be enough resources in the world to go round if we all learnt to "share nicely" like 2-yr olds!! Perhaps violence is born out of either frustration, greed or hatred fuelled by both. Whatever... the globe is a shrinking place and none of us is immune to threat - we are all mutually co-dependent. That being said, I agree with Ed's sentiments below that to find personal peace is a start and if we can feel hopeful and not helpless, then we can make a personal positive impact on the world in our small corner: "the oceans are vast but they are made up of vast millions of individual drops!" And anything is possible - I firmly believe that!! Thanks for passionate write. KB

No, I'm afraid that we will never just get along. Just getting along is what got us here in the first place. These crazies should have been stopped many years ago.
This is good Karla..really good. Lisa

There just doesn't seem to be much I can say here, Karla, that would add to your magnificent poem. Great job!

"can't we just learn to get along?"

A nice thought, Karla, but no it won't happen till everyone is willing, and there are too many dollars involved, money the root of evil, till we get past that, well, we are destined to repeat our pasts mistakes...Personal peace is as far as we can go, right now, Ed & rufuz

It will probably all end when mankind ends - unless mankind somehow becomes much wiser.

No Karla, it's not...It's the world against the few destroyers
who haven't a clue to the meaning of life.

Hi Karla,
I think you may have answered your own question.
Think about it.

Very moving piece. I still can't watch footage of 911 without crying and I am a grown man with more than a few bad days behind him.

I don't think it will end Karla...I think the Lord
will come first and end it all...it's so sad...
and it is happening all over the world..our troops
are constantly attacked...this is a very good rant..
I felt everything you felt as you wrote this...
all we could do is pray...bless you...floria
