Guest guest Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 The war in Lebanon by the country of Israel has killed more children so far than armed men. America has given green signal to go on and bomb more, instead of asking for a cease-fire. How more civilized do we need to be? When the mission of spreading democracy be over? How many more countries will be turned into Iraq, a country where everyday more than 100 civilians are killed on an average because some power hungry country needs cheap oil? This lyric by roger walters reflect the emotion that a conscious citizen of this earth can feel at this hopeless moment. Israel, will you stop killing the innocent children? The child lay In the starlit night Safe in the glow of his Donald Duck light How strange to choose to take a life How strange to choose to kill a child Hoover, Blaupunkt, Nissan Jeep Nike, Addidas, Lacoste and cheaper brands Cadillac, Amtrak, gasoline, diesel Our standard of living, could this be a reason That we would choose to kill the child That we would choose to kill the child __________ Allah, Jehovah, Buddah, Christ Confucius and Kali and reds, beans and rice Goujons of sole, ris de veau, ham hocks Lox bagels and bones and commandments in stone The Bible, Koran, Shinto, Islam Prosciutto, risotto, falafel and ham Is it dogma, doughnuts, ridicule faith Fear of the dark, or shame or disgrace That we would choose to kill the child That we would choose to kill the child __________ It's cold in the desert And the space is too big The rope is too short And the walls are too thick I will show you no weakness I will mock you in song Berate and deride you Belittle and chide you Beat you with sticks And bulldoze your home You can watch my triumphant procession to Rome Best seat in the house Up there on the cross Is it anger or envy, profit or loss That we would choose to kill the child That we would choose to kill the child __________ Take this child and hold him closely Keep him safe from the holy reign of terror Take this child hold him closely Take this child to the moral high ground Where he can look down on the bigots and bully boys Slugging it out in the yard Lyrics by Roger Waters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a child of God, not the God of your religion, but the God of Life, without motive, without purpose, and with my last dying breath, I ask Who has loved me? Who will lead the way to Heaven or Hell? Tears from a dying child, tears falling from heaven and tears burning in hell. May we all be peacemakers, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
