Pony Party: Which Side Are You On Boys…

Today. Anniversaries. Martin died 40 years ago today. The peace sign made its debut. That was fifty years ago.

MLK… and peace. A man who shared his vision of love, equality, and brotherhood, and a little symbol that became instantly recognized as the totem for peace… both caused fissures in the fault lines of human interaction.

So let me ask you…

    Prophets of War

    Lyrics:

    It burns deep down inside of me

    We have ourselves to blame

    Not questioning, accepted as the truth

    Debate this fight it’s just cause

    The facts do not supports theirs

    To liberate a people

    And rid them of tyrant rule

    Is it time to make a change

    Are we closer than before

    Can we help them break away

    Are we profiting from war

    It’s time to make a change

    Intrigued

    Got your attention – Deceived

    Since the inception – Our brave

    Fight for what reason

    Compelled

    Can we clean up this mess

    The loss of loved ones

    A perverse request

    They continue the same rhetoric

    These derelicts that profit

    Win or lose

    Is it time to make a change

    Are we closer than before

    Can we help them break away

    Are we profiting from war

    It’s time to make a change

    Time for change

    Fight the fear

    Find the truth

    Time for change

    The only thing

    That I believe

    Will help us see this through is faith

    Pray they will forgive

    Forgive our arrogance

    So we can make it right

    Right what they have wronged

    See you sweat

    Unexpected, controversial

    Get used to it

    Things are gonna get personal

    Your sympathy

    A pitiful display you stutter

    Your empathy

    Means nothing if there is no honor

    Responsible

    Of this you are incapable

    We implicate

    Incriminate – Exacerbate – Too much at stake

    Our Fathers, Mothers

    Sisters, Brothers

    Sons and Daughters

    Forced

    Perpetuating their ideals

    A mindless act

    To stay the course

    Is it time to make a change

    Are we closer than before

    Can we help them break away

    Are we profiting from war

    Is it time to make a change

    Are we closer than before

    Can we help them break away

    Are we profiting from war

    Is it time to make a change

    A change from what it’s been

    Can we help them break away

    Is our patience wearing thin

    It’s time to make a change

    Time for change

    Fight the fear

    Find the truth

    Time for change

    Our side has very cool music

    😉
