So, Osama Bin Laden is Dead

Ten years, thousands of lives, billions of dollars later, was it worth it? Have we really accomplished anything? Is the world a better place than it would have been had we left the vengeance to the Lord (to whom it belongs, by the way)? Does any one think Osama's demise leaves an unfilled vacuum? How many additional enemies have we made? How many more kids go to bed at night mourning the loss of a father? Did defending ourselves from terrorists require all this? Does anyone feel safer? Satisfied? In what way is YOUR life better because Osama Bin Laden is dead?

I'll celebrate when our soldiers come home and the recession is over.; May 2, 2011 at 10:11 AM

Sweet Lines of Poetry

"The Rose"

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed.
Some say love, it is a hunger,
An endless aching need.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance.
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It's the one who won't be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose.
