    that sounds a lot like the poem "strange meeting" of Owen, a WW1 poet. Their poems are great by the way.

    The author writes that it belongs to a poet, who has been killed in a battle, but he does not mention his name. So, I don't know if it is true or fiction.

    A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive.

    The year´s at the spring
    And the day´s at the morn
    Morning´s at seven
    The hillside dew pearl´d
    The lark´s on the wing
    The snail´s on the thorn
    God´s in his heaven
    All´s right with the world!
    Dunno were this one´s from

    Jet, there are three things which I really hate!!
    Ruffians, critters and tomboyz......
    Please explain me
    Why are all three on this ship!!
    Cowboy Bebop

    Why, why won´t you come?
    I wish you would come here...
    What are you scared of?
    Just try it for a little bit.
    *laughter*
    You´ve heard of a girl named Lain, right?
    Lain of the Wired.
    Serial Experiments Lain

    Announce your anthems on the ceiling, we dance, annexed by power.
    Casual neckties embrace, the hungry hunger further, images rule through the media, commercial orwellianism, producing unveiled icebergs, running transparent electrical cables, curving string ensembles, witnessed by hangings from flagpoles of souls avenged by dr. clock.
    Fresh paint, naked melting figures mixing the revolution against TV sentencing, at the hands of the brutal men and their military business world
    Let us instigate the revolt, down with the system!

    As the century nears its formidable end, our global experience of universal proportions, predicted by many greats, will arive at our solar system, to our system of a down.
    Authoritarian oppression, family abuse, depression caused by conformity, and economic devastation will be neutralized by technological terrorism in times of complete chaos.
    Control will never again be gained for toleration will become extinct.
    A husband quarreling with his wife will not think twice or regret his spent bullet.
    Hungry children will not spare the grocer.
    Remorse in all forms will be removed from human thought and actions.
    Freedom will only be available through revolution or death.
    This system of a down is unavoidable as life on this planet becomes unnecessary.
    The hand has five fingers, capable and powerful, with the ability to destroy as well as create. We have the power to stop and reverse the tides of time by making our awareness of abuse known to the powers of industry and their uncouth political arms.
    Only by raising this awareness and promoting personal peace within today´s self-defeatist society, can we allow the planet to avoid self-destruction!
    Open your eyes, open your mouths, close your hands and make a fist

    The last two were written by System of a Down

    "Why do old societies hold the pantheon of 12 gods to be true, while modern societies have one God?"

    "The Febuary 18 edition of Britain's New Scientist Magazine reports that the Geneva-based Wolrd Health Organization suppressed, under political pressure a report which confirmed that marijuana is safer that either alcohol or tobacco."

    "We first fought the heathens in the name of religion, then Communism, and now in the name of drugs and terrorism. Our excuses for global domination always change."

    "...A whole race genocide/ Taken away all of our pride/ A whole race genocide/ Taken away, watch them all fall down./ Revolution, the only solution/ The armed responce of an entire nation..."

    All the above from System of a Down - Self titled; the last, is from P.L.U.C.K. (Politicaly Lying Unholy Cowardly Killers)
