Sorry, meant English succour not American succor,(.....nor sucker, with an extra carriage return). Anyway, the bosom part was right.

What an interesting thread this has become.
Thanks to all.
More poetry please.

Ok. I'll add another one:

"All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that is strong does not wither
Deep roots are not reached by the frost

From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall the blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king..."

(J.R.R. Tolkien - "The Lord of The Rings.").

"Where Is The Love?"

What's wrong with the world,..OBAMA*
People livin'..like they ain't got no mamas
I think the whole world is addicted to the drama
Only attracted..to things that'll bring you trauma's

Overseas,..yeah,..we try to top terrorism
But we still got t'error-ists..in here..givin' in.

beggers..In the USA,..the big CIA..run by mossad
The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK..most sad

But..if you only have love..for your own race
Then you only leave space..to discriminate
And to discriminate..only generates hate
And when you hate..then you're bound to get irate, yeah

Madness..is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works..and operates

Man, you gotta have love..just WE all get..to set it straight
Take control..of your mind and meditate..Let your soul gravitate to the love,

the love..y'all,
y'all..the love

People killin',..people dyin'
Children hurt..and you hear them cryin'
Can you practise..what you preach
And would you turn..the other cheek

Father,

Father,

Father..help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me,..got me questionin'
Where is the love..the ..Love yal..dont just watch the domino's fall)

Where is the love,
the lover,..the lovely

It just ain't the same,..old ways have changed
New days are strange,..is the world insane?
If love..and peace are so strong..Why are there pieces
of love that other love..of ill..that don't belong?

Nations droppin' cluster bombs
/napalm/chloride/sarin..and white phosper

Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones
With ongoin' sufferin'..as the youth die young
So ask yourself..is the lovin' really gone

So I could ask myself..really what is goin' wrong
In this world..that we livin' in..people keep on givin' in

Makin' wrong decisions,..
only visions..of them dividends

Not respectin' each other..deny thy own brother
A war is goin'..on but the reason's undercover

The truth is kept secret,
it's swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know love

People killin', people dyin'
Children hurt and you hear them cryin'
Can you practise what you preach
And would you turn the other cheek

I feel the weight of the world..on my shoulder
As I'm gettin' older,..y'all, people gets colder
Most of us only care about money makin'
Selfishness got us followin'..the wrong direction

Wrong information..always shown by the media
Negative images..is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds..faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like..what they see in the cinema

Yo',..whatever happened..to the values of humanity
Whatever happened..to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love..we're spreading animosity
Lack of understanding,..leading us away from unity

That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down
There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under
Gotta keep my faith alive 'til love is found
Now ask yourself

Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?
Where is the love?

Father, Father, Father, help us
Send some guidance from above
'Cause people got me, got me questionin'
Where is the love?
love love love

Sing with me y'all:

One word,..one world
(We only got)One world, one world (That's all we got)

And something's wrong with it..but its not you
(Yeah)..but there a lot..all right in it..long over due

Any thought that the thread should not have been given a run is surely dead.
At the hands of the thread its self.
Contributors have put a case that can not be bettered.
We have seen great fairness and balance in those comments.
Gday OUG, must go Rudd needs me.
