ONE THOUSAND LIVES

  (Dedicated to the first 1,000 Americans killed in Iraq)

One thousands faces, One thousand lives. A thousand questions – all end in “Whys?” 

One thousand bright futures meet a thousand dark fates. A thousand souls leave behind their soul mates. 

A thousand dreams shattered. Thousands of hearts broken, No final farewells. No words of Love spoken.

How many more faces, how many more lives lost in the flames of a war based on lies!

How many more families must suffer before we end this unnecessary war?
