Array ( [sid] => 13623 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => WAR [time] => 2003-03-02 16:20:00 [hometext] => I KNOW THIS POEM MIGHT MAKE ME UNPOPULAR, BUT I FEEL LIKE IT NEEDS TO BE SAID. [bodytext] => WAR

I GET SO TIED OF HEARING PEOPLE YELLING FOR NO WAR,
HAVEN’T WE BEEN THROUGH THIS LONG BEFORE.
THE ONES YELLING NOW, WILL BE THE ONES YELLING IN THE END,
WHEN TERRORISTS HIT OUR LAND AGAIN.
THERE’S A REASON WHY THIS LANDS STANDS TALL,
FOR SO MANY BRAVE MEN HAS COME TO ITS CALL.
PROTECTING THE THINGS WE HOLD SO DEAR,
ENSURING FREEDOM FAR AND NEAR.
AS PRESIDENT, HOW COULD HE SIT BACK AND NOT DO ALL HE CAN,
TO PROTECT EACH CITIZEN, BOTH WOMAN AND MAN.
WHAT IF IT WAS YOUR DAUGHTER, FATHER OR SON,
WHOSE BODY YOU HAD TO BURY UNDER THE SUN.
WOULD YOU STILL WANT TO SIT BACK AND WAIT?
FOR MEN TO CARRY OUT THEIR CRIMES OF HATE.
TO SURPORT OUR LEADERS, THAT IS YOUR CALL,
BUT FOR ME, I’LL BE BEHIND THEM STANDING TALL.

SURPORT YOUR PRESIDENT!
United we stand, divided we fall!

WAR

'what if it was your daughter, father or son
whose body you had to bury under the sun'

how many more people will we bury if there is a war? don't you see it is so destructing and POINTLESS...what will we achieve? what is it for? just to get your own back? to make you feel better? think about it...

How soon we forget.
Is there a time when war is just?
You would say no.
I would ask the 5 million Jews being killed in Germany, waiting for America to help, only too late. I would ask the millions of people in Iraq wainting for America to help.
