Today. Anniversaries. Martin died 40 years ago today. The peace sign made its debut. That was fifty years ago.
MLK… and peace. A man who shared his vision of love, equality, and brotherhood, and a little symbol that became instantly recognized as the totem for peace… both caused fissures in the fault lines of human interaction.
So let me ask you…

Prophets of War
Lyrics:
It burns deep down inside of me
We have ourselves to blame
Not questioning, accepted as the truth
Debate this fight it’s just cause
The facts do not supports theirs
To liberate a people
And rid them of tyrant rule
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
It’s time to make a change
Intrigued
Got your attention – Deceived
Since the inception – Our brave
Fight for what reason
Compelled
Can we clean up this mess
The loss of loved ones
A perverse request
They continue the same rhetoric
These derelicts that profit
Win or lose
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
It’s time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
The only thing
That I believe
Will help us see this through is faith
Pray they will forgive
Forgive our arrogance
So we can make it right
Right what they have wronged
See you sweat
Unexpected, controversial
Get used to it
Things are gonna get personal
Your sympathy
A pitiful display you stutter
Your empathy
Means nothing if there is no honor
Responsible
Of this you are incapable
We implicate
Incriminate – Exacerbate – Too much at stake
Our Fathers, Mothers
Sisters, Brothers
Sons and Daughters
Forced
Perpetuating their ideals
A mindless act
To stay the course
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
Is it time to make a change
Are we closer than before
Can we help them break away
Are we profiting from war
Is it time to make a change
A change from what it’s been
Can we help them break away
Is our patience wearing thin
It’s time to make a change
Time for change
Fight the fear
Find the truth
Time for change
Our side has very cool music
😉
Give Peace a Chance.
next Saturday. I don’t have a laptop.
Somebody can do a bootleg. In fact, it has been a while since we have had a bootleg pony party.
Is ek alright? I know he has a bad cold and I still feel physically blah from mine.
and Sympathy.
