For years, we have heard warnings that Europe needs to contribute more to NATO's capability.

You Can Contribute A Verse
Contribute a verse, contribute a verse,
Who can contribute a verse?
Contribute a verse, contribute a verse,
You can contribute a verse.
You may be an underpaid lab’rer,
Streetsweeper or overworked nurse,
A migrant without any papers,
But you can contribute a verse.
You left school at sixteen with no GCSEs?
Did you graduate from Oxford with a First?
Makes no diff’rence, not one bit, for you both are fully fit,
Well-equipped to lay before the world a verse.
You may have no notes in your wallet,
You may have no coins in your purse,
No shoes on your feet, no breakfast to eat,
But you can contribute a verse.
Are you feeling sad and lonely,
In the depths of misery?
Do you feel this Life we’re living
Is not worth the entrance fee?
Are you sure that things will not get any better?
Quite persuaded they will go from bad to worse?
No great problem, drama, crisis, doesn’t matter,
As long as you can come up with a verse.
And it’s possible you’ve heard that our days upon this earth
Are not many, are not many, precious few.
We have hardly enough time to take in all of the sights,
Or do the things that we would like to do.
For we’ve barely crawled out of the cradle,
Then they cart us away in a hearse.
So, in the meantime don’t be idle:
Be sure to contribute a verse!

You know, it's been President Clinton's dream that we'll have finally a fully integrated Europe; and the steps that NATO will take to expand to the East, that's a commitment.

Not Accepting the Obvious
Denial has the capability,
To drag pity around...
In various unique places.
And with a standard of performance set,
Prepared to stir the heart.
Denial has the capability,
To remove truth from memory.
Excuse an alcoholic,
And supply any drug one wishes.
Denail has the capability,
To deceive oneself to hide the truth...
And live a life of lies.
Denial has the capability...
Of not accepting the obvious.
'Thank you for your beautiful performance.
Yes...
Her death was premature and done by natural causes..
She was loved by millions.'
~Loving to hear her voice.
But...
How can anyone be blind to the fact,
She was killing it intentionally.~
Denial has the capability...
Of not accepting the obvious.
But enjoys every detail of pain.

I think before 1997 is over, NATO will have taken giant strides in what's called adaptation, the discussions about bringing the French fully into the NATO forces.

While Slovakia did not make the first round of NATO membership, as various requirements and reforms are instituted, these actions will enhance the opportunities to join NATO.
It will be undertaken, of course, in the June or July summit, and then to bring NATO closer to Russia or vice versa is a way to move toward integration - toward the integration of Europe.

Sama Sa Usa Ka Suba
Ang kinabuhi kuno sama sa usa ka suba
Diin nato gihinay-hinay og hulog
Ang mga talulot sa atong mga bulak,
Hinay-hinay og kuyog sa dagan sa tubig
Hangtod nga layo na kini sa atong
Panglantaw, ug isunod nato paghatag
Ang atong mga dahon, hinay hinay lang
Gihapon nga atong ipaanod ug ang atong
Mga sanga ato usab nga ipiyal sa suba
Sa atong kinabuhi hangtod nga mahurot na
Ang tanan natong mahatag. Tan-awon nato
Atong bulsa kon duna pa ba kitay mahatag
Kay kon wala na, moabot na ang dili
Kapugngan. Ihatag na nato ang atong
Lawas, ug dayon ang atong kalag.
Kasagaran buot nato nga magpabilin
Apan dili kini mahimo. Anaa ang balaod
Sa suba ug sa mga talulot sa mga bulak.
Ipaanod ang tanan. Ang tanan gayod.
Atong iuli pinaagi sa pagpaanod.

Inig Takdol Sa Bulan
alang sa mga balakeros y balakeras)
inig takdol na gani sa bulan
ayaw og katingala nga dunay manubo
sa kilid sa atong mga bukobuko
dili nato ikaulaw ang atong kaliwat
dili kita nila mabasol sa atong pagkapak-an
gisunod lang nato ang ilang mga panaw
dili nato ikaulaw ang atong pagkawakwak
anad na kita nianang pagtukaw
anad na kita kon kita unya isalikway

Ship Of Fools
Hello europe here we are, everything is easy
Lets cross the border without stop
Italian pasta mixed with fine french wine would be great
My stomach knows no state
Blond girls from sweden
And if thats garden of eden
I think thats o.k.
Turkish dope found a license of the pope
Dont think thats the only way.
Europe, europe rules!
Lets have a drink in a ship of fools
Europe, europe rules!
Lets have a drink in a ship of fools
Allright!
Belgium beer with a jgermeister-deer
Thats why we here, I think this ones not for you
And swiss francs brought to polish banks
Thats life! a hard bone to chew
I dont want no austrians be instructors
In my home I guess theres something better
Spanish guitars combined with twenty german tubas
That wont work but it really doesnt matter
Europe, europe rules!
Lets have a drink in a ship of fools...
Allright!
Hey, hey!
Europe, europe rules!
Lets have a drink in a ship of fools cheers!
Europe, europe rules!
Lets have a drink in a ship of fools just watch it!
Europe, europe rules!
Lets have a drink in a ship of fools
Europe, europe rules!
Lets have a sink in a ship of fools
A shipper of a ship of fools, what part is that?
Europe rules, europe rules
Europe rules, watch your fools!

NATO believes it can pick on a small nation and force us to surrender our independence. And that is where NATO miscalculated. You are not willing to sacrifice lives to achieve our surrender. But we are willing to die to defend our rights as an independent sovereign nation.

Stone Whispers Tsunami Warnings Centuries Passings
in Aneyoshi
ancient tsunami warning
tablet stones
stand warning
across centuries
earthquake tsunamis
will strike
in swift shock waves
Yuto Kimura heard
soft whispers
wise carved sacred
warning words
stone whispers
tsunami warnings
centuries passings
in Aneyoshi
everybody knew heard
about stone markers
children studied
earthquakes tsunamis
warnings
in honoured school
villagers guided
visitors to markers
wise warnings
near their homes
in Aneyoshi
when the tsunami
comes mothers
take their children
from honoured school
whole village climbs
to higher grounds
flees risk earthquakes
flees to safe grounds
