Kismit Posted August 29, 2004 #1 Share Posted August 29, 2004 (edited) I know I have posted this before but I've given it a title and a thread of it's own because I can ...3/20... The girl climbed up on to her box , pushed back her curls , and fixed her socks. 'Ahem', she said , 'are you aware?', 'The trouble we have started here' . 'The snake who bit us on the ****' , 'has slithered off into the grass'. 'Out of sight and out of mind' , 'When hanging would have been too kind!' She glanced around at the tempered faces , tidied her bow , and checked her laces . then back to her speech , she said a-loud , ' Our General appears to be too proud '. 'For while his busy catching Vermin', ( a hole , a hole , to hide them all in ) 'the snake has gone ', 'his got away'. 'To hunt and kill and maim , his prey '. 'The time we've spent just chasing rats', 'is time he will use to plan attacks' . A tear rolled down the young girls cheek . 'Let's not forget the ones who sleep' . 'Lost in that last long cold dark night' , 'unable to grieve and unable to fight' . The crowd grew quiet , it made no sound. Is this where peace is trully found ? ...................................
