Question:
Red Rain is it always a killing time On the block around the world Where hope is found only In the slim light of a rising moon As too many are killed too soon Death is stalking In streets and mountains deserts and jungles, and on our roads and in the air Piling up to many bodies too often Do you know? Do you care? We hear the marching to every kind of war Do you know? Do you care? During nightmares On quiet nights I still hear their cries Of moaning screams Snuffed and stolen In swift whispering moments of a too short life I see them all Calling Falling Slowly in the red rain They die from bullets Fired in angers hiss On City streets, In the slash and stab Of dirty knives kiss Swinging wild In the morning mist Dying before they found What they where searching for Unknown sons and daughters That should have Expected more I see them all Calling Falling Slowly in the red rain Blasted into fish bits of fireballed planes Cast against a moon less sky Reaching hopelessly For the city of lights stopped hot At the edges of an ocean I see them all Calling Falling Slowly in the red rain In the names of greed or highway rage political games just to see the pain Dying So surprised That their time was near Snatched too quickly Screaming in pain and fear I see them all Falling Calling Slowly in the red rain Children once laughing In their warm mothers song So protected so often Now so quickly just gone Grounded away As if they were just meat tripping on land mines planted beneath their feet Because its the way It’s always been rape and murder till the winner win I see them all Falling Calling Slowly in the red rain Dying in back seats From angry/drunk drivers just more numbers We count as the numbers grow higher Afraid and forgotten On a bug infested fold out bed With a simple single bullet Burning deep Inside their head Packed together For Olympia’s rock and roll Catching hot bits of bombers metal Punching through the young and old I see them all Falling Calling Slowly in the red rain They die in factories Saving one too many bucks On bad roads Beneath an unsafe truck From lead rain Shot in moments madness suspecting a cheating fuck I see them all Falling Calling Slowly in the red rain Tutsi’s and Hutu’s Arabs and Jews, the Irish and English and Serbian and more foolishly bleeding on all our floors, Creating Klan’s of hatred pick any crazy you choose All talking together in guns and fun. Filling our precious oceans with the blood that’s spilled I see them all Falling Calling Slowly in the red rain Daniel * Sent from AltaVista http://www.altavista.com Where you can also find related Web Pages, Images, Audios, Videos, News, and Shopping.

Odd Froggy’s poem made me cry, Daniel’s poem made me cry, but it was a release that i needed, I am holding too much stuff in, trying to be grown up and too be the strong one in my house, and it is killing me. Both of you keep writing, it is so good for me to be able to "feel" again. Incidently, does anyone else feel like someone deleted your emotions, except for the rage that I can barely control, from your mind, just like I would delete a file that I no longer needed from the comp? I need to go and get in my treatment journal and write all of this down,,,,, Love and Kisses, and Chi, to all, Claudia

Thank you for sharing with me, My Psy Doc tells me that all of this is normal, but I like it better to hear it from a "real" person, if that makes any sense at all. Someone who really really knows what I am talking about, not just someone who has read about it in their manual.. I sound so bitter tonight, and I guess I am a little, My therapist is changing my schedule all around, and for some reason i have great anxiety thinking about change now. I used to be a person that would lose my head if it was not attached to my body, and now, the slightest change, like someone moving a Pokemon, or a stuffed animal from my room, Makes me go crazy…. Thank you for your caring, Love and Kisses and Chi to all on the NG. Claudia

Hi all, When it comes to feelings I think that all I can feel right now is a sense of betrayal and rage. I always thought about myself as a pretty calm person but since I have been falling apart those are the major feelings in my life right now. I feel someday as if nothing is worth my time and effort anymore, then I think about my family and they keep me going. I have never thought that my biggest fight would be against an enemy that I thought I knew so well…namely me. Every day is a struggle to keep my life on track, to keep the what is left of my sanity intact. Who ever thought it would have come to this… Anyhow I am babbling. Be well!
