Tololy's Box

yes, it is.

or better hang a “dont disturb” sign on your door….

But is it, Sabri Hakim?

What door is that, Devil’s Mind?

heh, you didnt get it i’ll explain myself:
[quote]Wake me up, When the war is over.[/quote]
but the war is never over, so actually u r asking: “dont wake me up”…
so if you hang a “dont disturb” sign on the door of your dorm, no one will wake u up…

the point is: the war is nvr over; i just tried to imply it in a subtle way

I can’t say for sure which war you refer to (although, perhaps, I can hazard a guess…) but I can only say that it is a conflict that we should be paying as much attention to — indeed engaging with our words and minds — as much as possible.

As with anything unpleasant, it won’t go away simply by closing our eyes and going to sleep…

Welcome to Tololy’s Box, Vincent. You are positively correct when it comes to how passive the poem feels, it is in fact extremely passive.

“War is a nasty business, I don’t want in” -That’s what the voice in the poem says.

I am with you that one needs to be aware of what’s cooking in the world. But I do not feel this should be the religion of everyone.

this reminds me of a haiku that goes:

“oh! you want me to love you like you would love yourself if you were me”

Nas,

Haiku is such a beautiful art form. I have an entry about it, stay tuned.

u know, there are more conflicts in this world than those being broadcasted on the news… and its obvious tht u are concerned about the conflicts in this world… still we should mind our own buissiness!
