Favorite Quote:
&quot;Life is too short to be organized.&quot;<br /> &quot;Oppurtunity only knocks once.&quot;


When


will this all stop?
When

will this all end?
When

will we exhale

that sigh of relief?
Let out

all that’s been bottled in?
Rid all bad emotions

from our souls?
Banish the curse that’s restrained us

held us back



cornered us in
When

will we cheer in the streets
Proclaim

that the wars are finally over?

done

And gone with forever?
When


will peace not merely be

a symbol

a cheesy clothing slogan

but a way of life?
When

oh when


oh when?

For the record, I wrote this poem at 2:34 AM in the middle of the night. The world is a terrible pplace, my friend, with all the wars and violence going on. There is only one question yet to be answered: when will it be over?
