If I open up my wrists

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

will it make a difference?

Will Mr. Bush blink

an eye?

Will another person live?

Will Medea put away

her knife?

Will another person awaken?

Will an end to madness come?

Will another come forsaken?



Will another citizen

peel the scales away?


Will another American

Turn away from all the fray?


Will people stop and stare

at the spectacle?


Will the people realize that

the death is all for naught?


I may as well

take another hit.





end.





On edit: This is no statement of suicidal feelings or intent. It is remembering te people who gave their lives in protest of war so many times before. May they rest in peace and in our memories.

1. I'll see that hit and raise ya Tom

And it would make a huge difference to us here at DU incidently.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

3. Don't worry here...

They'll have to drag me away from my keyboard.

This is just one of those questions so man y have to ask.

4. Sometimes I feel so alone.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

5. We all do.

And we all question the sacrifices we are willing to give and the sacrifices we are willing to hear.

[helderheid]

2. It will make a difference to me.

9. Been doing it in the Lounge since yesterday

10. Hell, I just went to an 89' Chiraz!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

8. LOL... One thing I love about this place is that you compete

with a thread called "Cat Saves Baby's Life," and lose!

:toast: to anyone who reds this!

[Swamp Rat]

11. Who's this "Cat?"

Does she wear a flat hat and live in a slat vat?

... I think this beer has 'yeast of rye' in it, or sumthin' :crazy: ... it was salvaged from Katrina.

... now I'll turn on some Floyd... :D

"If you didn't care what happened to me,
and I didn't care for you,
we would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain,
occasionally glancing up through the rain,
wondering which of the buggers to blame
and watching for pigs on the wing."

12. You da' man. A graphic for you.

[Swamp Rat]

14. Look at that bastard smiling!

:grr:

Great pic! One word says it all.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

16. I'm flattered that it made some Bush Protest signs on both coasts.

[PlanetBev]

13. Rat, you outdid yourself on that one

I haven't seen a more beautiful peace symbol since that blacklight room in the head shop I used to frequent in the summer of '67.

[Swamp Rat]

15. thank you

I was quite young at that time, but I'm certain I was influenced by my uncle's and cousin's blacklight posters (and their stash when I could find it :D). By the time I was 8 yrs old, my bedroom had become a shrine to the psychedelic gods and Hendrix and the Doors and the Beatles and Yes and Jethro Tull and Pink Floyd... for All. Amen! :D

Here's a variation... though I like the rainbow one more:

[laheina]

17. I like that one too, Swamp Rat.

But all of your stuff is great. ;)

:hi:
