We need a new song. We've been singing this one for far too long. We've been singing it in Iraq and Afghanistan for almost a decade. It's the song that never ends. This song of war and military violence, this song of Predator drones and preemptive missile strikes, this song of M-16s and M1 Abrams tanks.... It goes on and on and on, it never gets any better. Nothing gets any better with this song. It is an ugly song. We need to sing a new song.
A king is not saved by his great army
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a vain hope for victory
and by its great might it cannot save.
Psalm 33: 16 - 17
End the War. End all Wars. Sing a new song.
A king is not saved by his great army
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
The war horse is a vain hope for victory
and by its great might it cannot save.
Psalm 33: 16 - 17
End the War. End all Wars. Sing a new song.
