this morning listened to this and thought how appropriate even
today.....

Masters of War...bob dylan

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build the big bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks

You that never done nothin'
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain

You fasten the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you set back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
As young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud

You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
Fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my baby
Unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins

How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do

Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Wonderfully peaceful words from a peace protestor. Happy birthday Bob!

Hey davinci, watch for the flash floods pal, I don't know the weather
there but Durand is getting hannered today! Keep yer shorts dry!

Typo: hammered

Is it Dylan's birthday???

Happy birthday, Bob. Thank you for all your gifts....

.......and the money you made will never buy back your soul....

i would be curious to know the stats on the income status from
recruitments into this crazy mess....how many souls for the agenda of
the Neo cons


send them home medicated, or too angry to get the meds or treatment they
now seriously need...or boxed.......agh what a waste, a low ceiling for
the freedom and security they risked themselves for...


where is the security when you come home fear ridden with all of it
withiin you...with the images replaying over and over till you become
any kind of addict trying to numb the mind..and indeed , it becomes
dull, reactive rather than responsive...but you know you are polluted
and you know nothing can change that...and so we sleep with the
enemy...we bring it home like take away coffee...the leftovers

that's where therapy comes in ....but that's another thread

we are gonna pay for generations..wait til the depleted uranium does
it's work..
we seem to be a suicidal species....

everyones a victim........

hey bob-

put my guns in the ground.

yyyyyeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssss sir............

no body wins in war....... nnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooobbbbboooodyy.

Roses are wilting, violets are dead
George Bush’s war causes blood to be shed

He claims it’s for peace and diplomacy’s failed
but his arrogant vanity’s been slowly unveiled

He’ll never make peace, not even at home
for even his people are starting to groan

Can we replace him before it’s too late?
Or must this continue till 2008?

Masters Of War

Masters of war; Promoters of disease.
Give them a star; It gives them ease.
Rebecca cries for children; No peace.

Vengence is mine sayeth President Bush.
Surely I will repay but others just say hush.
Medic cries the wounded in forgotten brush.

Masters of War; More like Gods.
Feed me your children; Spare not the rod.
They die a noble death; They sleep in Nod.

Army only you can turn you guns into something usefull.

And then only when YOU decide it is time.

The more that do the less war there will be.

But it will only be time when warriors on all sides do that at once.

Fat chance of that in the near future.
