'Ave it..

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

WAR IS A BLACKHOLE TO AVOID
REALTIES OF WAR
ARE SO DISTURBING
THEY DECLARE IT
BUT THEY DON'T HEAR CRIES OF FEAR
WAR IS A BLACKHOLE TO AVOID
MUTILATED CORPSES, CHARCOALED FLESH
LITTER THE BATTLEFIELD
BUT THEIR DEAD BODIES
ARE NOT TO BE FOUND
WAR IS A BLACKHOLE TO AVOID
WAR IS A BLACKHOLE TO AVOID
REALITIES OF WAR
ARE SO DISTURBING
THEY DECLARE IT
BUT THEY DON'T HEAR CRIES OF FEAR
WAR IS A BLACKHOLE TO AVOID
MUTILATED CORPSES, CHARCOALED FLESH
LITTER THE BATTLEFIELD
BUT THEIR DEAD BODIES
ARE NOT TO BE FOUND
WAR IS A BLACKHOLE TO AVOID

Empty chairs at empty tables.

Sheer poetry from start to finish.

Like the Al Stewart one I posted earlier, it’s about the Russians in the WW2, but a poignant look at the horrors of war.

Some things are worth fighting for. If we aren't going to join the fight, then give Ukraine the arms it needs to do it themselves. Iraq and Afhghanistan brought the US and us to our knees with Kalasnikovs and fertiliser. Think what Ukraine could do with the right stuff? Give it to them. Train them to use it. This song, to me, inspires to say, fuck you and come ahead.
