[hometext] => A poem attempting to illustrate the fallacy of wars.
[bodytext] => I haven't swallowed my dose of Warsargudeforuspram, in 50 cal. tabs- administered daily by Dr.'s C.N.N and Associates. Such a hearty business, war! The bombs, germs, cammo, bullets bandages, treatments, pharmaceuticals, psychiatrists, institutions, veterans cemeteries. Coming and going at every turn. The Lucerne Hadron Collider to our proton. What is a country? Borders, controlled by power hoarders enforcing one set of rules not found one inch away. This invisible line bolstered by commands- (Get a ticket in Canada for a baby-walker, roll six inches to the USA and you're a responsible parent)- Ad nauseam. Does Johnny Thompson from Des Moines sit well knowing his bones and flesh kept the fuel pumps below $3.85 gallon? (Ten years ago $2.00 gallon- peak!) Can he speak now for the value of his life? No. War- the manifestation of ambitious people that place an accumulation of gold above life, love (YOUR life, YOUR love) so far above you are rendered meaningless to the spread sheet.
