The death toll of the secret war being waged silently against the poor of the world will reach close to 40 million while the world is kept distracted by the Iraq war and the poorest nations on earth maintain their interest payments on their paltry loans in the midst of one of the most devastating famines of modern times.

The Great IMF Famine of 2003

http://www.awitness.org/journal/starvation_myths.html

The death toll of the secret war being waged silently against the poor of the world will reach close to 40 million while the world is kept distracted by the Iraq war and the poorest nations on earth maintain their interest payments on their paltry loans in the midst of one of the most devastating famines of modern times. The country of Eritrea is about to disappear from the map of the world as 70 per cent of the population is at risk, and food is about to run out, and none is on the way. This famine has been developing for over a year now, so there was plenty of warning and these human beings could have been saved for even two per cent of the estimated 50 billion dollars in bribe money the Americans are paying to buy votes in the United Nations for their little war...

Beautiful Lyrics from Sarah McLachlan's Solace CD

Back Door Man

You open your eyes, look around

You feel the earth it wanders out

Out, from under your feet - the ground

is not firm but soft and weak - like skin

under the touch, cannot stop to falter

Now, the damage is done, the certainties gone

the spirits altered

and now the angry morning

gives the early signs of warning

You must face alone the plans you made

decisions they will try to break

Our hands are tied on the table

Maybe you can try at the back door man

While the helpless line up on the doorsteps

And its all they can do to try to get through



Shelter

They're crowded into the smallest spaces

While outside all of nature cries

It's known to be cruel and unfair

But there is no place to hide

Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never

really wanted to share

Oh I've seen a part of people that I never

knew was there

Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm

Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm

I can't sleep, I'm haunted by their faces

The sadness in their eyes

It hurts so much to see them helpless

It makes me want to cry

But still there is so much left unanswered

For so many innocent lives

They've closed the doors and are letting nobody in

And only the strong will survive

Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm

Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm

I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams

I've watched as their existence is torn apart at the seams

And though I may seem helpless

I will do all that I can do

Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never

really wanted to share

Oh I've seen a part of people that I never

knew was there

Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm

Shelter - give them shelter from the coming storm



Sarah McLachlan's Eden Song

Mother teach me to walk again

Milk and Honey so intoxicating

Into the fire

I'm reunited

into the fire

I am the spark

Into the fire

I yearn for comfort

Open the doors that lead on into Eden

No more cheap disguise

Follow the signs marked back to the beginning

No more compromise

I will stare into the sun until its light doesn't blind me

I will walk into the fire until its heat doesn't burn me

And I will feed the fire
