... how painfully liberating it is to be able to objectively critique ones government. ... how painfully emancipating it must be to admit a collective & national complicity. ... for it is this honesty and virtue of spirit Angel,that has defined you as of a caliber celestial & evolved. Yes, it is both painful and liberating....I think we are all confronted, on some deep level, with having to ask, as "Neo" did in the movie The Matrix, which pill will or do or did we choose to swallow.....the red one or the blue one? Wouldn't it be utilitarian if Courage... Conscientiousness ... Transparency .... and Love could be achieved by way of a PILL. Tell you what Angel.... I surmise that if these virtues were pharmaceutically available, they would be the least profitable to the manufactures and no reported case of overdose or prescription abuse would be recorded. Wow. Love the concept.... |

WHO IS THE ENEMY?
Who is the enemy? Is it you or me? I see we both have eyes that speak, that seek Truth. I see we both have ears to hear. Do we really feel so differently? I see we both bleed. Do we have the same needs? Do we live the same creed? Are we to blame for the deeds we're about to enact? Are the decks stacked against us as we stand here in the cold, holding our weapons close, 'cause God only knows someone's got to die. Do we live or die in the lies? Ignore the cries, ignore what's right? As we stand face to face, can we place our ammunition down falling to the ground in recognition that we are one and the same? Could it be that easy in this hell called shame? Yes, it could be that easy if we let it. No one has to die: no, not you, not I. We put the killing machines down and fall to our knees. We finally see our Truth is one and the same; no one wins in the game called violence. Silence stops us in our tracks. We refuse to attack, turning our backs on the status quo, 'cause we both know this tale of woe. We have family and children who are waiting. Let's stop the hating and go home. We chose to live inside of LOVE; yes, we’ve both had enough. I won’t call your bluff, and you won’t call mine. ~© JDS 04/11/2009~ |

Tears are falling fast. Tears for now, tears for the past. Will we grasp the meaning of this war? Or grasp the reality, the insanity, of any war that came before? So many, and "in the name of God," but that's just a facade, smoke and mirrors. "For Oil We Stand, Divided We Thrive" so the motto seems. The American Dream? Western Imperialism at its best? Do we honestly invest to systematically oppress, depress, stress, cause unrest among other peoples, other nations? "They" must be contained so resources are gained, strategic sites obtained. Oh, but we can explain! The “communists are coming,” and now the terrorists. There's no error as to who THEY are; "they wear scarves" so of course we're alarmed! “We” wear suits, yes, we're civilized, and deny any blood on our hands! Can't we just get our people to blindly understand we're under attack? And so, the beat goes on....and so do the bombs.... ~© JDS 04/06/2009~ insightful perspective... |

Bomb The World (Armageddon Version) :Michael Franti
I don't understand the reason why You tellin' us all that we need to unify Rally round the flag And beat the drums of war Sing the same old songs Ya know we heard 'em all before You tellin' me it's unpatriotic But I call it what I see it When I see it's idiotic The tears of one mother Are the same as any other Drop food on the kids While you're murderin' their fathers But don't bother to show it on CNN Brothers and sisters don't believe them It's not a war against evil It's really just revenge Engaged by the poorest by the same rich men Fight terrorists wherever they be found But why you not bombing Tim McVeigh's hometown? You can say what you want propaganda television But all bombing is terrorism (chorus) We can chase down all our enemies Bring them to their knees We can bomb the world to pieces But we can't bomb it into peace Whoa we may even find a solution To hunger and disease We can bomb the world to pieces But we can't bomb it into peace 911 Fire in the skies Many people died And no one even really knows why They tellin' lies of division and fear We yelled and cried No one listened for years But like, "who put us here?" And who's responsible? Well, there's no debatin' Cause if they ask me I say It's big corporations World trade organisation Tri-lateral action International sanctions, Satan Seems like it'll be an endless price tag Of wars tremendous And most disturbingly The death toll is so horrendous So I send this to those Who say they defend us Send us into harm's way We should all make a remembrance that This is bigger than terrorism Blood is blood is blood and um Love is true vision Who will listen? How many songs it takes for you to see You can bomb the world to pieces You can't bomb it into peace (chorus) Power to the peaceful And I say, love to the people y'all Power to the peaceful And I say, love to the people y'all |

"It's not a war against evil
It's really just revenge" Truly. Think Instead of all the Moms by Abra A Christian nation denies their Christ and follows the ways of the poltergeist "An eye for an eye!" they scream in vain commanding their armies to go insane Murder those who threaten us! For in our God we have no trust we don't believe in what he said we won't feel safe till all are dead! We've lost the heart of our belief and now we're out to spread the grief Only bombs can save our face we have no faith in our savior's grace We're hypocrites we must confess our greediness has caused duress "One Nation Under God" is now a mere façade We only trust our bombs and drop them on Saddams and kill the little children of the brokenhearted moms But now our leader's changed perhaps our new one's not deranged over time the wounds may heal the 8-year reign may seem surreal Leave the future to Obama and like Christ taught forgive Osama Don't support the violence not even through your silence! Speak out against atrocities and biased animosities diplomacy's the only means to bring world peace without the screams So calm your heart and heal your soul let love and peace become your goal don't support the dropping bombs but think instead of all the moms |
