Array ( [sid] => 41251 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => America [time] => 2004-04-01 01:46:28 [hometext] => with no intention to offend..im just confused and sad... [bodytext] => Why do you bleed yourself for others?
Setting off our children on war and
Let them die on the foreign land.
Are you happy you'll gain wealth?
And never mind the deaths
You always say, 'THEY, THE HEROES DIE FOR A COST',
And which are you talking about --
Is it for liberty or for your ******* oil?
You had given liberty to you neighbor
Why not call back your children and
Let them rest on your arms.
Stop your madness and
Rescue them from the horrors they witness.
Stop minding others' businesses
And focus yourself on your own home.
Can't you see the violence inside your house?
Or you just pretend that you're blind
And refuse to see the truth!

America, when will you answer my questions?!? [comments] => 2 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 6 [informant] => mystiquepearl [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 1 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

I don't understand why we are fighting this war. We can't control our own countries problems and we are off killing our children for another country? For what, greed and power. Whoever controls the oil controls the country. That oil will not feed or house the starving and homeless. It will not wipe out disease or teach our own people peace. It will not quell bigotry, hatred, or racism. It will just lead to more deaths and more wars and undermind any prospect for healthy living or economy in any country. We went after Hussein, why? Bin Laden is the terrorist and still free. Make sense to you? It darn well doesn't to me.
