When men play war games…

young girls cry for their lovers

  1. sorry cpmers….in flanders fields by john mcrae…kay lord tennyson naman yung isa….let the peace process move on….

  2. The men who send them made mistakes…but these guys were soldiers…theirs was not to reason why…but to do or die…..

    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.

    • I think that line “Theirs was not to reason why, theirs was to do and die” came from the poem “The Charge of the Light Brigade” by Alfred Lord Tennyson, which tells about the gallant but futile charge of the British Light Brigade against the entrenched troops of the Ottoman Empire in the Crimean War.

  4. I am a dead SAF
    if you hate PNoy so be it, if you want to sow intrigue so be it
    but do not use me and let me rest in peace

  6. I was a dead SAF
    and my story gets murky and murky
    pseudo-analysts stop and let me rest in peace

  11. Hai Nippon san!
    This car is so much fan,

    A steering wheel I drive into the sun,
    Look! A monitor to my front.

    Take a photo of me Alan for your plan,
    I’m late too late for my 44 cops who got stung.

    Necros already begun I’m not ending my fun.
    Puurrisma’ what have you done? Sir! 30 minutes na lang,
    That was my plan!

    Puurrisma, keep quiet ka dyan! Pahamak mo ako na naman.

    [ this is just the Laguna pun during the president’s priority Hai-gan ignoring
    Villamor Air Base Honor run for the 44 Heroes’ sad and glum]

    [P.s. There is on FB, a PNoy’s photo driving one Nippon car, so laughing with
    fun. Then hurrying to the dead Heroes to condole the Clan. Can
    he suddenly change into from that fun into his condolence run?]

  13. Exchange in Haiku
    Seems to me quite effective
    To communicate

    Thanks for the Blog topic, Raissa
