We took the hill You took the field, Until you died I would not yield, this prize we sought. We gained more ground You lost your ranks, We fired our shells Across your flanks, This time we bought. We were so young I felt so bold, I killed you there You fell so cold, Your life cut short. (105) | ||

Posts: 674 | I wasn't sure where to put this, but it looks like this might be a okay spot for it: A short story for the little people that will never live the good life... A Day in Life of an Evil Conservative By Alex I woke up as usual around 10:30 and noted with deep satisfaction that the prols were already working for no less than 3 hours, sweating around the steel mills and automobile plants, making the CEO rich. I had a light Atkins-friendly breakfast consisting of a pound of Beluga caviar and poached eggs of American Bald Eagle. I yelled a little at the servants for failing to procure freshly chopped dolphin liver, but it was too early to get really loud. I then went for the unnecessary drive in my Cadillac SUV dragging behind me a trailer with a huge boat, which I did not need, but it looked impressive. I drove for about 200 miles in the second gear, just wasting gas. When I pulled up to the gas station, I spilled at least a pint of gas on the ground. They say it buggers up the ozone layer. I like that! You didn’t pay for it, so don’t tell me what to do with it! To cause further damage to the atmosphere, I had a lunch of beans. I noticed a blind beggar with the hat and some coins. I swiped the money and sent it as a donation to Halliburton. I’m sure they’ll employ this capital better than the useless beggar. While chopping down the ugly 400 year old oak tree, I noticed a stray cat. I tortured it a little, to offer myself a pleasant diversion. It was a fulfilling and useful day.

The generals in charge never bother with thanks, they just squash their opponents with cannons and tanks. Yet through all this madness,pain and fear, there's always one echo a soldier will hear. As the bullet rips in and he's starting to crease' a voice in his minds eye is screaming for peace. Peace is the word Peace is the sound, My vision is peace as I'm homeward bound. But I realise then my vision has gone, for my only home now is the cold of the stone. (105) bring-it 2003. | ||
