WAR

I have just realized, that as John Lennon has said, we have never given peace a chance.

I can't believe that we keep killing each other so mercilessly. I can't believe that we still volunteer to serve in the army, to kill and be killed according to somebody's orders. I can't believe that students sell themselves to the army for tuition money.

I believe that we, as a people, need to show other nations that we respect them, that we tolerate their chosen way of life, and that we are not interested in fighting wars. We need to be satisfied with what we have and protest our government's attempts to attack and conquer other nations.

Violence is not easily forgotten and almost always leads to revenge and retaliation. In this way, violence is a cycle that, once started, is almost impossible to stop.

 

The news of the war in the media has not given us an accurate picture of what war is. Regardless of race, skin color, geographical location, or religion, all human beings are the same. We all suffer in the same way, love the ones close to us, and shed the same tears.

American Freedom
Shock & Awe

With shock & awe
You are free
To live under the sky

With kick in the door
You are free
To enjoy nightmares for ever

With bullet in window pane
You are free
To pay for a window woman

With a gaping hole in the wall
You are free
To find a new home

With a transmission tower down
You are free
To read, eat & write in dark

With waterline destroyed
You are free
To be thirsty and dehydrate

With the bridge blown up
You are free
To be stranded for ever

With sewer line cracked
You are free
To smell the rot and catch any virus

With the telephone exchange gone
You are free
To cry in an emergency

With cracks and holes in roads
You are free
To break your leg or two

With shock and awe
You are free
To play without a school

With shock and awe
You are free
To die without a hospital visit

With shock and awe
You are free
To Count the GIs and ignore the natives

With shock and awe
You are free
Free the American Way

Free, Free, Free at last
You are free
Free the American Way
