Fireflies shine over the midnight world
Testament to creation unfurled , Angelic
orbs that kindle the glow of young thoughts
Loves first kiss forever held in our precious heart
Writing our emotions in the twilight tapestry
The promise of forever carved on a moonlit
'Oak tree tablet' for all eternity
Holding on to one another on a Summer porch
swing , a journey through the Heavens on a
song filled evening

Over 400,000 civilians killed in Iraq
missing from their families and never coming back
mothers, daughters, fathers, sons
why do we **** the innocent ones

it's downright ******
it's downright ******
it's downright ******

no amount of enemy troops being killed
can ever compare to the human toll revealed
doctors, nurses, teachers, nuns
why do we **** the innocent ones

it's downright ******
it's downright ******
it's downright ******

you don't know injustice
injustice is when the ones who said they came to save you, shoot you and your children in the face
(I looked through several websites and the most up to date one was a huffingtonpost story. They were direct and indirect deaths. The enemy troops killed was far too hard to find out, but even at best estimates is 100 times lower. Most deaths are to be blamed on coalition forces and US forces for sure. I felt a need to use the word "******" more than once, because we never hear the word ******, when we talk about wars. That's what it is though...******
rainless morning, awoken by comforting delicate taps on my window
velvet curtains lifted and fragile opalescent feathers revealed
the hummingbird sings songs for you
and my heart flutters in time with the tune
thanks for reading ❤
