i was reading my def poetry jam book & one of the poets (Suheir Hammad) wrote a greaaaat poem called 'on the brink' or something of that nature lol. but yeah it was based on this peace protester named Rachel Corrie, its crazy how confused i was when i first read it, but like the fourth time i read it i started to get it. dudee this lady was a peace protester like i said & she was like gaurding a house cause like the palestinian soldiers were trying to bulldoze it so they can like hide bombs there or something. its crazy cause theres a picture of her clearly in front of the bulldozer & the next picture shes crushed on the ground. tell me thats not the most horrible thing ever. you can look up the pictures here

'something like ten Palestinians have been killed since
yesterday,when a Caterpillar bulldozer driven
by a man demolished the home that was her body.
if anyone knows her family,please relay
to them my grief & my sorry.'
rest in paradise Rachel Corrie
bye :-*
