Subject: FW: A WORLD POEM AGAINST THE WAR AGAINST IRAQ

 Hello all,

 Got an appeal from Tais Lintz to make a huge chain world poem against the
 war threat against Iraq. The chain of poems will be published on websites
 tackling the issue.
 So you can mail your poems to:

 Add your name and country to your poem, okay?!

 I agreed to do the final editing. So those who have problems in writing
 English, don't worry.

 PS: this is my contribution / voici mon texte:

 Imagine Sunrise
 being buried in my stomach,
 that's how down I feel
 when I think of war.

Oranges don't grow in deserts
anymore but are forever lost
in the cursing of one another
 when the one who is not bothered
 by the terror of his dreams
 scarecrows me & you,
 bullies our light so much
 it retreats to the smallest corner,
 creating the comeback of cockroach paradise.

 I've always known this sentence:
 the road to hell is only fat & baby black,
 crying from New York to Baghdad.
 Yes, hurting souls seems easier than removing tears
 but that does not stop me of hearing the cold splendor of the lies.

 Brother in arms,
 allow me also a single shot,
 to shoot one star
 & make one wish
 about one death:
 & that's the death of war!
