Description
The Centuries pass; and the wars never end.
So many problems; so much destruction.
We have learned nothing from past mistakes;
unless it be finding new and more efficient ways to kill each other...
"And I can't help but wonder oh, Willy McBride
Do all those who lie here know why they died?
Did you really believe them, when they told you the cause?
Did you really believe that this war would end wars?
Well, the suffering, the sorrow, the glory, the shame,
the killing, and dying it was all done in vain
Oh, Willy McBride, it all happened again
And again, and again, and again, and again
Did they beat the drums slowly?
Did the play the fife lowly?
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down?
Did the band play the last post and chorus?
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?"
("No Man's Land" (also known as "The Green Fields of France" or "Willie McBride") is a song written in 1976 by Scottish-born Australian folk singer-songwriter Eric Bogle)

WE never learn.
Pray this time we listen to cooler voices.

It is sad....especially now with plenty of ways to access information, it's hard to blame ignorance....

Beautiful piece for such a tragic truth...we seem keen to keep going back to violence. It takes strength to maintain peace

from beginning to end. some for pure greed, some because they were a different beard style. ours not to reason why, ours but to fight and die. though, sometimes it is essential to stop even worse aggressions. sadly.
