ohhhhhh nooooooo, they are just starting !!!!!

The fight we share

Dearest, Dearest friends,
Come with me, let me in!

It is a common pain,
It is the pain we share
only together, we gain the repair

This common ordeal,
can never mend and heal
in me, the lonesome me,
in you, the lonely you

Dearest, Dear friends,
Do not stand alone, this pain and torment
Come with me, with me! Let me in, let me in!

Julian Assange v. Bradley Manning

some friends of mine asked me recently why i didn't post anything about Julian Assange ....
the answer is easy ....

of course i'm very happy with Assange asylum at Ecuador's London embassy, even if his future is not certain yet ....

but why almost anyone speaks about Bradley Manning now ???
he is arrested in a Military prison in USA, in really harsh conditions.

so, i think this is NOT truly fair !!!!
