The Holy War

In today's world, my friend
I am unable to comprehend

Why is it that anyway you turn
Heads have wounds, hands have guns

Eyes are tearful, the dove's afire
And every act arouses a new ire

Another one killed and someone cries
They're barbarian, we're the good guys

If God is omnipresent, is in everyone
Can one kill someone, and not Him some?

I am not a Muslim, nor a Hindu
I am not a Christian, nor a Jew

Love is the religion on which grew
Where did we get the venom to spew

Let's go out again, bask in sunshine
I'll hold your hand, you hold mine

An Italian's Holiday to Scotland

This is a funny little piece that we were given at a charming little Italian restaurant in Edinburgh. The place is called La Lanterna, is located at Hanover Street, and has a dainty hostess in Antonietta Zaino, popularly known as Toni. Enjoy the humor of the pleasant people of La Lanterna (verbatim):
