This Is Not Your War

By Soulfire

Jaysi, I love you please come back
This is not your war, send Bush to Iraq

You and I were once two peas in a pod
Now we are different, and Bush is your God
I want peace, legal weed, and love
You pretty much despise all of the above


What do you think will happen to you over seas?
Will you kill Bin Laden and set our fears free?
No.

Reality has it that you may never come back
Jaysi, this is not your war, send Bush to Iraq

I don't want to lose my sister or my friend
Tell me, dear leader, when will this end?




*Tears* This is dedicated to my best friend and sister: Jaysi Bennetto. She is to be deployed in January...God save her.

    My prayers are with your sister. If she does go, may she return home in newfound wisdom, peace, and health...

  • A former member wrote: and those who do realize that they're being used as pawns to push Pax Americana, enlist to prove to themselves they can kill more than rabbits, to mutate their fear into hatred. All the wrong reasons, none of the right answers..
