Broken Hallelujah

Peace...







Over 10 million people worldwide in 603 cities are expected to rally this weekend against a war on Iraq. Huge rallies all over---London, Tokyo, Sydney, and in New York, near the UN at noon today. It seems like it'll be the largest turnout yet against going to war in Iraq. Over 500,000 people expected in London's Hyde Park today. {this bbc news site is full of updated worldwide protest info, msnbc also has a good link.}

A fine cartoonist in the liberal vein, with great cartoons, content, and links is Alas, A Blog. And, Kevin at InContemptComics, also takes the anti-war view in his drawings. Excellent work. Jeff has nice peace-ful links posted today. Buy an inexpensive peace pin. {via:kaneblues}

TAKING A STAND ON IRAQ

And a vast paranoia sweeps across the land

And America turns the attack on its Twin Towers

Into the beginning of the Third World War

The war with the Third World

And the terrorists in Washington

Are drafting all the young men

And no one speaks

And they are rousting out

All the ones with turbans

And they are flushing out

All the strange immigrants

And they are shipping all the young men

To the killing fields again

And no one speaks

And when they come to round up

All the great writers and poets and painters

The National Endowment of the Arts of Complacency

Will not speak

While all the young men

Will be killing all the young men

In the killing fields again

So now is the time for you to speak

All you lovers of liberty

All you lovers of the pursuit of happiness

All you lovers and sleepers

Deep in your private dreams

Now is the time for you to speak

O silent majority

Before they come for you

~ Lawrence Ferlinghetti
