War

The following was found while digging through some of Bob Church's belongings. It is a short writing Bob did on a napkin while at a restaurant during one of his travels at least 10 years ago (possibly while staying at a hotel in St. Joe). Louise Church would like to share it with you all here. And no, this isn't Bob haunting you all through his blog so don't rush to the phone to call your local paranormal society headquarters :)


Politicians in this world
Are really uptight

They get us in wars
They get us in fights
They say it's the economy
That brings it about

But then there are us
Who have found out

Don't get me wrong
I'm not afraid to fight
But in my own mind
I know it's not right
It's really strange
The position we'll be in

Because after the dead is counted
Neither will win
The dead will be dead
The lame will be lame
But the politician
Will still be the same

Thanks so much for sharing this. So many thoughts he must've had and never shared! And, thanks for the tip... I've already called them once! ;)

Louise, thank you so much for sharing this with us! We miss Bob so much. And thank you for keeping his site up. I keep dropping by to read.

Of all the many fans Bob knew about, there were even more he didn't know about. My husband is a big fan, but he's not a big mouth...I mean a public commenter...like me:)

We feel like we know you through all of the good things Bob said about you and the family. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us. The poem is beautiful. The picture makes it even more special.

Thinkin' bout Bob today.

I bet he'd like Taylor Mali. I bet he'd have some funny things to say about Palin.

I bet he'd put it all in very unique perspective.
