Just been listening to this record ..... "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire, from 1965 ..... here are the lyrics:

The eastern world it is explodin',
violence flarin', bullets loadin',
you're old enough to kill but not for votin',
you don't believe in war, what's that gun you're totin',
and even the Jordan river has bodies floatin',
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
Can't you see the fear that I'm feeling today?
If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no-one to save with the world in a grave,
take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
but you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Yeah, my blood's so mad, feels like coagulatin',
I'm sittin' here, just contemplatin',
I can't twist the truth, it knows no regulation,
handful of Senators don't pass legislation,
and marches alone can't bring integration,
when human respect is disintegratin',
this whole crazy world is just too frustratin',
and you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Think of all the hate there is in Red China!
Then take a look around to Selma, Alabama!
Ah, you may leave here, for four days in space,
but when your eturn, it's the same old place,
the poundin' of the drums, th pride and disgrace,
you can bury your dead, but don't leave a trace,
hate your next-door-neighbour, but don't forget to say grace,
and you tell me over and over and over and over again my friend,
ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction.

Written by an American nearly 40 years ago ..... does anybody think we have progressed much since then?

aw hell, Higher.... I was feeling good until reading that....

geesh our world just doesn't seem to get it does it?

But yes, in some respects it has progressed, not as much as I would have thought, but I do see small changes here and there. I just will have to contiune to be an example that hate and meanness do not have a place in my world!

Re: Thought For The Day: Wednesday

Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Martin Luther King Jr.


Have a great day everyone!

he sure did have a way with words and thoughts!!

 

[Cathleen]

I think you're right, Cate ..... we have progressed in some ways, but we have such a long way to go still ..... we can dream of that perfect world, can't we?

U have to lock them in closets or tell them to write an 1200 word essay by the end of the period; which is 85 minutes or so in my case.

I have a friend who moved away from her adult children. They thought she was joking until the moving van showed up. She told them they had 60 days to move because she had sold the house.
