I read the news today, oh boy About a country, or two, at war And in yoga class how could I Be When more and many more Are forced to fleeeeeee While souls dim and minds divide We let them blow their homes up far and wide We are a crowd that stands and stares Too shocked to act or to decide How will it end, Nowhere to hide “I don’t believe the world,” he said And how can I? after the news I read Shocked and paralyzed, we turn away But I just had to dream Letting my hope strreeeeeeaaaaaam I’d love to turn yours on Woke up. From Dead Man’s Pose Before my eyes there flashed a script Stretched my spine way back and felt the pain Looking in, I noticed one break rank: Lays his weapons down, removes his shirt, sits on the ground Says, “Let’s have a smoke, It’s getting late” Another joins, Unwind this hate And somebody spoke and I saw their fate I read the news today, oh boy Bare chested men emerged no longer beasts Cross legged in the sand, did they hold hands? Food was laid upon their feet, they shared a feast Then mixed the bones of all their dead To bury among 10,000 holes in Donbas United there forevermore instead I’d love to turn yours on To mourn and celebrate as One, can this be done? I read the news today, oh boy I read the news Today. |
