(“No brass bands. No speeches. Instead a still, silent, effective influence.”—Anti-suffrage speech.)
We are waging—can you doubt it?
A campaign so calm and still
No one knows a thing about it
And we hope they never will.
No one knows
What we oppose,
And we hope they never will.

I often don’t know what I feel and find myself lost for words. It’s the phase between action and reaction. The time of digesting what I have just witnessed or lived, the period of sorting my feelings.
Our way of life
has hardly changed
since a wheel first
whetted a knife.
You have caused me great pain,
hurt and exploited me.
For eternity I have given you
whatever you needed to live.

An old man going a lone highway
Came at the evening, cold and gray,
To a chasm vast and wide and steep,
With waters rolling cold and deep.

I want to kill you war, forever,
not like a phoenix, that always comes back
I want to kill you war
and I don’t know how
and I don’t know why
all the people of the world
don’t join hands
to kill you war —
you the greatest killer
of them all
…
Everyone should be born into this world happy
and loving everything.
But in truth, it rarely works that way.
For myself, I have spent my life clamoring toward it.
Halleluiah, anyway I’m not where I started!
And I sat on the shore
Watching the families
The mothers greatness and deep love
Fathers fountains of knowledge and abundance of affection
…
How does the song and the video make you feel?
