Wrapped round this machineMilitary machine

I wouldn't want to be
Living in a world of ecstasy with you
I wouldn't want to be
Living in a world of ecstasy with you

Wow ... Very powerful lyrics!
ReplyDeleteSadly that is part of war. But this act of vigilance trained by people so young is so unhealthy mentally. Humans are basically good and killing another human has to affect the individual trrendously. No matter what age!
The effect of war on kids is something we rarely hear about, like a dirty secret.
ReplyDeleteWar hurts the innocent more than the ones who order or cause it.
ReplyDeleteAnd it just never changes, does it?
ReplyDeleteWar is awful, however, I'd like to point out that we are currently living in the most peaceful time the world has ever seen.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet I still want more peace. I'm so demanding :-)
DeleteHi, Susan,
ReplyDeleteTough issues for children to deal with, especially if you lose a relative to war.
It's hard to think of war at all but even worse to consider the effects on children and young people. Especially tough issue you guys chose today.
ReplyDeleteYou picked a tough issue, one that affects the lives of many.
