A Poem I wrote in 2001 concerning the war at the time on Plaestine.


Poem Artwork

You Leaders of War!
 
You think you deserve the right to have a house and a bed
 
when I see look in your eyes
you are all the walking dead...
 
 
You can't compromise
 
You Kings of the world,
you think you're so great,
you are all, in a whirl!
 
 
You think you have the power to stop a war?
who's in control is really the poor
they strap themselves with bombs of hate
then head out to kill you and your mate.
 
It goes much deeper than caves and hills
It is the killing which propels more kills!
 
Jewish residents targets of rage
Palestinians placed in a cage
 
Palestinians were taken off their farms
numbers were written onto their arms
why not give them a portion of land?
Instead of taking their need 
as a flame being fanned?
But instead you go door to door
house to house to round up the poor
taking them to a foreign land
oh won't God think this grand
 
Oh sons of man, where is your God 
 
Where is your miracle 
your savior plan
 
Where has he gone
 
he cannot be found
 
He is a figment of your imagination it seems to be.  
 
A fact made into mythology
 
No one will save us! It's all in the plan
 
that we must realize  "God is within"
 
We make our miracles
or, we choose to kill 
we are our own demon 
we are our own will!

"We make our miracle happen,
or we choose to kill,
we are our own demon,
and we are, our own will." TRUE!
-I listened live to all the speeches by Mr. Bush, and Mr. Powell's presentations at the UN - I also obtained the text from these. My opinion was that it was a lot of repeated rhetoric and old documents (available on the web-proven and reported by CNN to be in large part plagerized) presented as "new evidence" from British Intelligence. With each new presentation, the US justification for war became less credible. If anyone is truly interested in knowing the rationale for my stand, I offer them the following url which addresses all the "issues" raised at the UN and has point by point referenced quotes from US agents and UN inspectors that almost completely contradict what the US White House resident has told us is an imminent threat to our security... (Interests) Inspections and high tech monitoring give Saddam no chance to rebuild a weapons arsenal - aren't inspections and monitoring a better way than war, which will only provoke increased retaliation on the American people?

Powerful and very true; I use a lower case "g" in that word sometimes when I am describing man's perception of Him.
