That Road to
By Doug Siva
A monk was killed today
On that road to
A holy man he was
He stood up for a cause
That you and I hold dear
Yet we do not have to fear
To act and speak so free
We have this guarantee
In our country where we live
But for him he had to give
His life was all he had
To rid his world of bad
Injustice hunger and strife
For this he gave his life
Let’s help to set them free
For us with democracy
It’s everyone’s birthright
Yet for some they have to fight
And to pay the ultimate price
Just for a bowl of rice
I ask you is this fair
So show that you truly care
And help them to be free
Just like you and me
Walk that road to
Let’s make it happen today

thank you for that eye opening poem, I hope those who read it understands the struggle of others and how just our voice alone will help save lives. I hope those who read it choose to 'use their liberty to promote ours'. I am so hopeful to see such support my country and my people are receiving. I thank you for all of your efforts. I will post this on my blog as well so the world can see what Doug Siva sees and understands. I thank you from the bottom of my heart Mr. Siva.
Love,
Sophie

10/19/07: I did a google search, without any qualifiers, on ticketsupport@beijing2008.cn. Read the fourth entry (an anonymous post on craigslist.org). Quoting from the presumed inspiration for that anonymous post: "Shall we work together and show to CHINA what is the real power of people all over the world?" Try the same search on yahoo ... I wonder what the other engines show.
