I've been thinking for several hours now of all the anti-war songs I know. There are many very powerful ones. One of my favorites is THE CHILDREN DRAW GUNS, which is in the database.
It makes me think on the war in Bosnia. The very same things have been going on there for ten years, yet we pay no attention because they are thousands of miles away. Yet for the people there, the sorrow and shock is just as great as it is here, and in some ways it is far worse. But still we ignore their pain and focus on our own lives. What happened yesterday is a blessing, in the sense that it gives us a chance to put this into perspective. I don't wish to minimize the pain of those in Littleton, but I think this incident tells us something not only about ourselves, but about the world at large.
Just something to think about.Jennifer Burdoo
