Allen L Roland's Radio Weblog
My ongoing theme is always the truth , as I see it , and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

Poem of the Week

Sadiq ( Sadiq is a transliteration of the Arabic word for Friend )

by Brian Turner
(Brian is a combat veteran who spent a year in Iraq while in the US Army, and returned home in late 2004. His poetry book, Here, Bullet, will be published in November by Alice James Press.)

It is a condition of wisdom in the archer to be patient
because when the arrow leaves the bow, it returns no more.

-- Sa'di

It should break your heart to kill.
It should make you shake and sweat,
nightmare you, strand you out in a desert
of irrevocable desolation, the consequences
seared into the vein, no matter what adrenaline
feeds the muscle its courage, no matter
what god shines down on you, no matter
what crackling pain and anger
you carry in your fists, my friend,
it should break your heart to kill.
It should never be so easy as this.
