!War!  What is good for? Nothing.

!War! What is good for? Nothing.

A Poem by Coyote Poetry
"

Just thinking about good people who are missed. Thank you Edwin Starr for your song.

"
"Borders may separate countries.
But with each death in war.
A flame of life is lost."




I was the first USA citizen in one year to visit the graves of 20,000 USA Soldiers lost in one battle in WW2.

























My good friend who was killed in Iraq with his children in 2004.





















Rachel Corrie. A human shield killed trying to protect a clinic.

Author's Note

Coyote Poetry
I'm tire of war. I was raised with the Vietnam war. My children have the Bush's war. I pray for peace. Time for all people to demand the end to war. I know the 1.2 trillion dollar spend on war could create jobs and help education.

I have thought much about it man. The govts of the world can wage no war without men willing to fight. The paranoia of having to defend ourselves is a great evil. There must be civil disobedience and the acceptance of a law of humanity that supercedes the laws of panels of men. Charity to all in need is the way to get there.

Your words and these images blend into a voice crying out for peace.. why can't we put more efforts to bring our children into a world that shows the value of life and love.. We must pray for peace.. always...

So true and so sad. In the words of Bob Dylan "Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died?" We all tire of war but who can stop it now?

"My prayer is simple, dear one, dear one, may you never need understand. My prayer is for peacetime, my child, my child. Live it well and this life can be grand."

I'm with you on this one, coyote.

As long as there is man, there will be war. We are flawed creatures and fighting is something that is in our blood.
