arms open rock
this world
had became
sea drenched by
its own tears,
till the
war fires finally subsided.
love washed
the wounded,
rocked them,
love soothed the whole world
the ocean waves were
making the shore
and the sky was
penetrating
the water with
lights when
we re-membered
from whence we came,
and love was that place
which pulls us forward from hell,
and in every cell a light was flickering,
like candles our minds were lit,
thoughts of suffering
cleared blue as water
and on loves vast sky,
our minds slowed and stilled.
for we'd grown
fatigued from fighting the ocean,
while thirsting for
a less salty salve,
We'd opened our mouths
to sweet light
rain
washed pain
nightmares dissolved,
and all because
we couldn't tame
our interest in sea breezes,
and coral reefs.
war was outmoded
by what we prefered,
that which preferred us,
and we re turned:
the Mind found its secret
ocean
to a light sublime
And not one person
any longer believed
in being all
alone
in a hostile universe,
for that was a far
away and distant time
when the world
had temporarily lost its mind.

You would be a lot happier in life if you would lose that hatred you have for GW, and direct your efforts in a more positive area of concern, perhaps cheering for the demise of a tryant like Saddam, then maybe for the peaceful construction of Arabs and Jews living together in the West Bank.

I think you have a right to expression, but not to disregard the opinion of others. Like mine.
