My head is spinning from the news from Palestine and the Jews It's the constant threat of dying and governments all lying Terrorists in the streets terror when I sleep Violent images in my dreams and on the screen wasted lives and beaten wives The Taliban on the run India and Pakistan who has the bigger gun? look out Iraq your day is coming they'll send your people running make it stop my head is spinning where is peace when war is winning? at accelerated pace death marches in the race he's trampled on the dove and made no room for love hate and violence rule anger is it's tool they're teaching it in school religion and politics cozy mates indeed corporate crooks keep crooked books fat cats who feed on greed yes my friends I'll tell you true my head is spinning fast I only wish I knew how long this craziness will last

Love this. You know your subject matter and you're not afraid to say what you think. The structure really works and so does the whole thing (9)

Thanks for the nice comment. Sometimes I wish I could be just another sheep, ignorant to what is really happening.
Maybe I should start watching Oprah. ;)

Until they all loosen up their towels, let their heads breathe a little and realize that they have been fighting over a chunk of desert the size of Disneyland. affixed with a city (Jerusalum) that's been utterly destroyed and rebuilt about ten times in the last 7,000 years.

Only when they loosen up their bowels, will any kind of progress be made. I think we've all had enough of the violence. Ever since the 'troubles' started I have struggled to come to terms with the evil Constipat-Or. Only prunes can save us now.

Your reply started out with a faint glimmer of humorous hope, but I reached the end and alas, you just pooped out.

This would make a great song - early Dylan kind of thing.
