This song was written during the Cold War era where the geo-political powers of the time employed tactics of avoiding conflict hangs over a doctrine called MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction). Today, the way other countries relentlessly trying to develop their nuclear technologies, planners will have to conceive a new doctrine that describe humanity's collective march towards self-inflicted Armageddon.

The background photo was taken up at Joshua Tree National Park. The red sky was the reflection of a large fire just east of Los Angeles as the setting sun radiates what would have been a golden glow.

Tradition
Tradition of fighting is here till the end
Pass in on and mach along in deferent ways
Delusions of grandeur deceivingly right
"Let us do it while we can,
I hate to see our people on the run"

Who would say that warfare is just natural
Did evolution frame it in our minds?
A legacy a terminal solution
Million-year tradition,
Human race could never leave behind.

Of all our tradition this is the one
Tradition that will put an end to all the rest
A new age, an old rage danger ahead
Always been and will again
This old Tradition must be put to end
