An End

[Qetesh]

Another one falls
Another family torn apart
Tony Blair calls
For the Nations support
We send more men

We pray for an end

But behind the door of number ten
There the murderer stands
Praising our men
Their blood on his hands

We pray for an end

Breaking news, another one dead;
Someones baby gone
More tears are shed
The reason you ask. There isn't one

We pray for an end

This isn't our war to fight
But still we try
Listen in the middle of the night
You'll hear us cry

We pray for an end


Just thought I'd share that, looks like my hubby will be going to Afghanistan before long ...

Claire, I'm so sorry your husband must go off to a senseless duty. I hope he will return to you soon, as do I hope everyone's family and friends are returned safe and unharmed. That's an understatement. How can anyone that has had to take on an ordeal, such as war, come home unharmed in some fashion? Be it physical or metal, once you experience the battlefield on a first name basis I think it's with you forever.

Thank you for sharing the poem. It is beautiful, did you write it?

Claire, I will pray that the Great Spirit returns your husband safety to you and your family... :paw: :paw:

Thanks Arana, I helped write the poem. A friend of mine knew what she wanted to say just didnt know how to say it.
Morale is at an all time low here at the min. My ex-boyfriend/best friend has gone off to Afghanistan. I recently lost a friend out in Iraq and now I face my hubby goign as well. Yes, he joined up to serve his country but he didnt know things would get in this state.
Living on a military camp doesnt help. We hear the things the public doesnt and we cant escape it... ever!

I'm just really down at the min. Sorry

I also add my best wishes to you and your loved one who is about to be deployed in Afghanistan--may he be protected from all harm.

As veteran of military service--I feel especially close to those who serve in uniform---

It looks that now that Israel has begun to escalate their military actions in the Mideast--this may lead to a conflagration in that troubled part of the world.

I echo the line of a song by Steve Earle: "may the children of Abraham learn to live in peace" in my hope that we can come to some sort of understanding between and among Jews, Christians and Muslims and the "worlds" from hence they come.....

Shalom, Salem, Peace...

My thoughts are with you. May the Spirit Mother protect your family.

Thank you everyone. It means a lot. Hubby had a briefing this morning that may have been to do with it, so I'll find out soon when (or if, but thats not very likely) he'll be going. And to top my mood off, I've just found out that a very close friend from the last camp we were at has died...
