The Peace Tree
The Peace Tree is a blog that has just come to my attention. It’s managed by thepoetryman who also writes A Poetic Justice.
Here is a selection from the May Day post:
The funny thing about war is that most of the people involved suffer. The soldiers suffer and the folks caught in the middle (even if they support the war) suffer. What we are seeing in Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Lebanon, Sudan- and other parts of africa- is what war has done. Especially in Africa; famine, drought, disease- We’d like to think we have escaped that. We have inflicted that on Iraq- but we here will reap the harvest of the seeds we have sown. Even now- we are marching towards bankruptcy; our food supply is changing, and we have no friends. We aren’t suffering like the Iraqis- or any of the other places i mentioned. But the wounds to this country run deep. We may not have the bombs and guns here- but the devastation to our constitution are going to be long felt for decades.
Helen Losse also contributes to this blog and in the future I will be making contributions. Give it a visit. I know I’ll be talking about it again.
