And the light that shines through the shining night
Is a lamp that I carried from my mother's home
And the light that burns through the window pane
And the love remains
– Stevie Nix

What's the use in regrets
They're just thing we haven't done yet
What are regrets?
They're just lessons we haven't learned yet

In winter when the streets are bare
There aint nothing much to see
I just cant help missing and thinking
About that kindly man
That one old winter time came
And took away from me

And then one morning
Another spring is there outside my door
Things are blooming
Birds are singing
And suddenly yes well I aint sad
Aint sad no more aint sad no more
– Nina Simone

And she pinned back her hair
Shouldered with care
The burdens that were his
Mending the coat
That hung on the post
In heart remembering
– Patti Smith

Wait till you have reached the age Blah blah
History has turned the page Blah blah
We still want to hear a brand new thing Uh huh
We still need a song to sing Uh huh
– Britney Spears

So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.
– Mary J. Blige

oh sweet blindness
a little magic
a little kindness
oh sweet blindness
all over me
four leaves on a clover

Sweet sad songs,
Sung by lonely girls, lonely girls

But when I dial the telephone
Nobody’s home

"Yo no quiero que las flores sepan
los tormentos que me da la vida
si supieran lo que estoy sufriendo
por mis penas llorarian tambien"

I don't want the flowers to know
the torments that give me life,
if they should know that I'm suffering
for my pains, they would cry, too.
– Ibrahim Ferrer

Tan faltos de aire
Tan llenos de nada
Chatarra inservible
Basura en el suelo
Moscas en la casa

So full of nothing
Useless cans, trash on the floor
Flies in the house

And understandably, Iraqis blame the United States for allowing that devastating bomb to happen.

In the end, the bombing in Baghdad didn't murder 45 shoppers. The tally remains uncertain, but at this point it's clear that it has killed over 135 people who were rushing to get home for prayers, in the midst of last minute purchases before the weekend.

Seven bombs went off in Kirkuk killing five, injuring 40, while one bomb in Baghdad, hid in a truck and driven into a marketplace, killed 45.

At a conference in Paris, scientists from all over the world are in agreement: global warming is caused by humans.

The radio reports today that the Sundabans, an archipelago of islands, in the delta of the Ganges, are disappearing. The tides from rising sealevels are drowning the miniature ecosystems.
