a prayer

broken bodies lie soaking ashen ground
empires within and out crushing the refugees
no one is left to fight for them but you and me
and the One we say we love is with them bleeding red that ground
-the psalters

God you are my Beloved and no matter what happens i want nothing more than to stand next to You...

pray for peace on both sides... speak up.

**to be clear: i admitedly don't know much about the situation and what caused it. but whichever side you support, you can't deny the photos of innocent people - men, women, and children, lebanese and israeli - who have been slaughtered. these are who i speak up for.

These bring tears to my eyes. When will it all stop? What can we do to make it stop? After the Garden is Gone.

This is so beautiful. So much emotion. Beyond that, all the technical aspects (composition, good choice of selective coloring) are great.

This is a brilliant theme and even better picture. The composition exudes an element of anonymity, and hope. What can I say, absolutely brilliant imagery.

felicitaciones, tu foto expresa mucho. congratulations, your photo "speaks" a lot. i dont know mcuh about why and when did those problems started but there's no reason for killing and there's no reason to believe God will stand up for one or another...if God is love...and love doesnt aproved so much pain and violence.

The helplessness and fragility captured by the presence of the hands and the brutality and coldness of a brick wall work well together as well as contrast eacht other.

Yahoo Time Capsule

I think it would be a fantastic idea if "Speak Up For Peace" members could all add our "Speak up for Peace" image to the time capsule so that everyone’s contributions are preserved for years to come.

I hope you would contribute, preferably in the "sorrow" section.
(that is where you will find mine)

P.S. Dont forget to tag (in the yahoo capsule site) with "Speak Up For Peace"
