Sorry, this message did not post right. I'll tray again. Imagine a "hard return" i.e a "line break" wherever "/" is indicated. IN MEMORIAM/ There is no laughter in those critters/ No joy in their summer's day/ They crawled and we uttered not a word/ Often we cowered just to breathe another day/ Let it be written by all scribes that are known/ It has been resolved here and nowhere else/ The value of property is greater than the sanctity of life/ Musa is dead because he broke a windowpane/ For a mangled box Falieu was properly felled/ Poor Fatou lost her life because the police chief lost his hat/ There is no reprieve for Isaac from the Mountain/ Let his blood run the slopes and drape the innocence below/ We all sleep well tonight!/ Raze their swings and bury their toys/ Discard their Formulas and burn their shoes/ Dismantle and dismantle the children!/ Quarantine their mothers and crate-up their fathers/ Yahya reins, so does seven yards of cotton and rain/ Sleep well tonight everyone, sleep well the eternal sleep ****Long Spear**** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
