Jesus performed a miracle in that little town, so did Peres in his operation 'Grapes of Wrath'.

Morituri Te Salutamus In this little town, Jesus turned water into wine He blessed the town with the miracle Of love. In this little town, Babies are born without heads Women have limbless busts And men bathe in their own blood. In this little town, Grapes are made of wrath And wine turned into blood. In this little town, Eyes are stones Bloody tears trickle from their sockets In this little town, Flesh is blackened with horror And hearts rumble like thunder Inside charred corpses And deafen the silent world. In this little town, Watches tick regularly Around severed wrists Setting the time for revenge. In this little town, Shells scythe through our throats Yet we breathe. Lebanon, “We who are dying salute you.” � 2000 Huda Orfali All Rights Reserved ��

Huda,

I cannot imagine living in a place of fear. I'm sorry you have endured this.

Not all Americans are bad, not all Americans want war. It's those in leadership who direct the pawns--you don't see them on the front lines. Meanwhile, our troops are dying as well as millions of innocent civilians--

GAD. Excellent, powerful, screaming call of ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

In this little town,
Watches tick regularly
Around severed wrists
Setting the time for revenge.

Very powerful write. Well done.
