Okay, Let's do have a "war on TERROR!" Definition of terror:
Noun
1.terror - an overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety.
panic, fear, fearfulness, fright - an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight).
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.asp?Word=terror

I don't know how well armed response will do in a war against what's being sold to Americans today, but I believe that we do need to have a war against it because too many Americans are in a terror today.

It is time to have this war.

There is no nation.

There are no uniforms.

It's insidious and it attacks from within.

Here is the face of terror:



This man and his administration have spent untold millions of dollars on instilling terror into the lives of Americans.

Do they try to make us feel safe? No.

They try to tell us Iraq is about to blow us all sky high with WMD's.

Do they capture those who have harmed us? No, Osama's family is tight with the Bush family. Saddam once threatened W's Daddy.

Let's DO have a war on terror. Educate the masses with the truth.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

And our President.

1. and the president's friends...and collegues...heck, even Barney...
and fear.

Oh wait, you already said that one.

I think we should have a war on pant pissing. That's a direct result of terror, but the source of the lasting effects of embarrassment, which lead to names such as Mr. Depends or Spotty Crotch Mcgee. Far more terrifying than the terror itself.

2. terrorize some of the people all the time
terror is its own disdain,
wondering those who conscience it,
Driven by the fear of pain,
and how mans justice seems so illegit.
When we are ordered round,
by bright police men in their fancy gear,
wont' we better to have found,
leadership a living without fear.

When we put down all the crap,
light a new way forward ahead in time.
Fear and terror is so old hat,
only bracing when one believes the crime.
Time will surely change the stats,
no longer will we count the time.

4. Yes, i'm a poetic foil these days
Writing sonnets never really came to me,
already 've written all the posts in prose, mind storms do depart,
so god knows what an elisabethan be,
but i'm certainly no further to that family chart.
What candid feelings come from minds decree,
that i cannot express in verse, component and my art,
if it's worth putting fingers to the key,
sacred may the sea of words to arrange themselves apart.

In to little lines and rows,
tuning to elemental sounds in my shakespearean vine and trees,
gently rocking my hearts song bow,
calm wind's glee on clear day out at sea.
A hundred sonnests could be in store,
As sweetheart uses verse some more.

:-)
