POST 1000- NOTHIN' SPECIAL, JUST WONDERIN'

Long as I remember the rain been comin' down.
Clouds of mystery pourin' confusion on the ground.



Good men through the ages, tryin' to find the sun;
And I wonder, still I wonder, wholl stop the rain.



I went down Virginia, seekin' shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.



Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.



Heard the singers playin', how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, tryin' to keep warm.



Still the rain kept pourin', fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

I was wondering if you had been disappeared ;)!

Sad world ain't it .....Gets sadder every year...CCR got it about right....

Just been stockin' up for the winter. Still I wonder. Bombs Over Baghdad.

Bombs over Baghdad, Bombs over Baghdad
Bombs over Baghdad, Dancers of Death
Murder in the air, with the next breath
Macho Queens selling war-makers toys
Raining Destruction, Good Old Boys
Death bringer In Queen George's Eyes
Read his lips, war-maker lies
Religious Rights revenging sword
Thou shalt kill in the name of the Lord
The Sheep and the Cattle can't keep from milling
Some are more than ready some aren't willing
Volunteering in what they're not dying for
The Young Republican Guard crying for war.
Free speech as free as its thought
Controlled behavior reacts as its taught
Fighting for Peace can't comprehend
Hate out of love is violent pretends



Bombs Over Baghdad, Bombs Over Baghdad
Bombs Over Baghdad, Bombs Over Baghdad

Vampires drinking blood and oil cocktails
Their violence works it hardly ever fails
When blind man can't see he believes blind
Blind obedience is the child of mindless minds

New world order is an old world lie.
Fighting for peace, see how they die.
Dragging in God, as they turn violent.
God says nothing, he just remains silent.

Stop madmen from running loose.
Mother earth woman cant take the abuse
living right now is living for tomorrow
Time is saying there's no more time tomorrow

Vampires drinking blood and oil cocktails
Their violence works it hardly ever fails
Bombs over Baghdad Dancers of Death
Murder in the air with the next breath

Macho Queen war-maker toys
Raining destruction Good Old Boys
New world order is a whole world lie.
Fighting for peace, watch them all die.
Dragging in God, as they turn violent.
God says nothing, he just remains silent.

Bombs over Baghdad, Dancers of Death
Bombs over Baghdad, Dancers of Death
Bombs over Baghdad, Dancers of Death
Bombs over Baghdad, Dancers of Death
Bombs over Baghdad



The world needs you.

Very, very touching. Peace.

Still I'm wonderin'

by Daniel Berrigan

Imagine; three of them

As though survival
were a rat's word,
and a rat's death
waited there at the end

and I must have
in the century's boneyard
heft of flesh and bone in my arms

I picked up the littlest
a boy, his face
breaded with rice (his sister calmly feeding him
as we climbed down)

In my arms fathered
in a moment's grace, the messiah
of all my tears. I bore, reborn

a Hiroshima child from hell.

(Daniel wrote this about his experience in January 1968, when he and friend Howard Zinn spent a night in an underground shelter in Hanoi while American pilots bombed the city.)

Happy 1000 posts.

As always your words are a salve. I've friends who spent much time with Daniel Berrigan some of that time was at Jonah House. I recall one interview with Daniel on the day he was released from jail, one of the many times, and the interviewer asked the usual "How does it feel to be on the outside again?", and he offered something like "It's good to be back in minimum security." Don't remember the exact words but that's the sentiment.

"In my arms fathered
in a moment's grace, the messiah
of all my tears. I bore, reborn
a Hiroshima child from hell."

Ah. do we recognize who it is that springs reborn from that passage?

Thank you H2Oman and JCrowley. :grouphug:

We're lucky to have you. Keep it coming and thank you.

I guess I am more of a lurker, I suspect my 1000th will come election day or the morning after...

Excellent post.
