well nothing puts a gal into perspective like a pal visiting from israel
its amazing
all us americans are all up in arms
or giving away our liberties in the name of safety and freedom?
while the folks i know from israel who have lost pals in suicide bombings, served in the army the whole shebang
are fairly mellow
life goes on
live every day like its your last
be happy its all that matters
these are their mottos
and you know good ones too
cause the message i left with after watching the towers burn and fall
and after feeding the bloody and broken at ground zero
was not to go out shooting
but to go out loving
to find the people all round in me and reach out in some simple way to touch them
and make their world a little better
i admit most of the good will
and kindness that filled me
taking the void
of the horror has faded
and im back to being a bitchy new yorker again
but still its there
i am different
i am changed
and no
i did not change and want to kill or lash out in rage
i changed and wanted to care
and hold
and protect
and heal
and i still gotta say to the baby bush
iraq?
nah
wasn't the right time
wasn't thought out right
and sure isn't turning out to be the big bone you thought it would be
in retrospect
maybe you shoulda just told us all the truth
just said
they tried to kill my daddy
they're not as scary as north korea
they got oil
and i need a big ass win
truth
yeah
woulda been better then at least folks could make an honest decision
about this whole thing
weapons of mass destruction
stick it in yer
timber company
georgie
FYI
does anyone recall
when donald rumsfeld said this was gonna
be a few days to two weeks of war time
now georgies saying it can be a 12 year commitment
hmm
bad planning anyone?
