Bombs illustrate what we already know Candles cry towards the sky Bracing your plants of a polluted coast Dreaming of the day that Was the philosophy of displaced minds The bombing of all homes and villages? Truth is the only sort we demise Pleading till the day that Attack all the homes and villages Attack all the schools and hospitals You have attacked all the innocent villages We shall attack! - 16th /December /05 Just mail me at Maitinin@gmail.com with questions, comments or corrections! www.TAB6.com
