A Thought in War

As i ponder the condition of the peoples of the world and the so called leaders, i have to wander; why did they all stop thinking about what's important?

A Thought in War........ this is how it goes.....

(Talking...this morning i was thinking...)
-------------------------------
Just stood there on the corner with my head down low
to listen for the silence- kicked some dirt into a bush
and i screamed out- why do we do the things we do
and i cried out- well need forgiveness for it all
and i thought of the place- where LOVE needs to endure
and i prayed out loud- we dont need this war no more, no more
-------------------------------
Last night I heard some crying... deep down in a dream
children were scattered now, cant you hear them scream
and they reached out- for survival is the need
and they ran out- of their homes out in the dark
and they laid out their life- for the monster to embark
they are silent now- there is no one left to feed, no need, (to feed)
-------------------------------
This morning in the dusty news they all were dead
theres troubled times a coming spilt some coffee on the floor
and I was angered- of an arrogant defeat
there were pictures- I was embarrassed to believe
there are families- that will never see the next
and it seems like- we can no longer open eyes, open minds
-------------------------------
Just stood there on the sidewalk in a pouring rain
knowing what we took away is more than I can stand
and they stood there- let atrocities abound
and it happens- they just didnt give a damn
and the death that they caused- was much more than any man
and we find out- it was only done in vain, in shame
-------------------------------
(Talking...the next morning i was still thinking...)

Give me the money that has been spent in war and I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens will be proud. I will build a schoolhouse in every valley over the whole earth. I will crown every hillside with a place of worship consecrated to peace. ~Charles Sumner

[MikeysChair]

... cool! And a seriously nice comment! With all that is going on I had to make a statement! I was trying to learn a 'Cold Play' song and I stumbled across thee chords. They seem to express the melody and accentuate the wording. Thanks and I hope more will hear this message B4 we get past the turning point? Peace, truly, Peace!

Good stuff!

[Nicatroubadour]

dont mention it - good song because it reminds me of the style of unorthadox chord structure and message of the George Harrison song 'the day the world gets round' and unfortunately these songs lose none of there relevance with the passage of time
