"Blown Away"
Dry lightning cracks across the skies
Those storm clouds gather in her eyes
Her daddy was a mean old mister
Mama was an angel in the ground
The weather man called for a twister
She prayed blow it down
There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
[Chorus:]
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away
She heard those sirens screaming out
Her daddy laid there passed out on the couch
She locked herself in the cellar
Listened to the screaming of the wind
Some people call it taking shelter
She called it sweet revenge
[Chorus:]
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away,
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away
There's not enough rain in Oklahoma
To wash the sins out of that house
There's not enough wind in Oklahoma
To rip the nails out of the past
Shatter every window 'til it's all blown away (blown away)
Every brick, every board, every slamming door blown away (blown away)
'Til there's nothing left standing, nothing left of yesterday (blown away)
Every tear-soaked whiskey memory blown away,
Blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away, blown away
On this date in 1945, the inhabitants of Hiroshima, Japan were blown away by detonation of the 1st atomic bomb ever used as a weapon in warfare. The United States of America is the only nation on Earth to cross this line, which triggered an arms race toward "mutually assured destruction" with the Soviet Union that ended with it's break-up in 1991. Yet, the military industrial complex that President Dwight D. Eisenhower had uncovered in his 1961 farewell address continues to Foster proxy wars around the world right up to the present day: Civil war in Syria is the most recent conflict of significance. When will the Eagle remember... that the Olive Branch trumps Arrows and the USA should "beat its swords into plowshares" and stand as a harbinger of Peace. War is never the answer! I knew it back in the 1970s when I participated in protesting against the Vietnam War. I was relieved when America brought the troops home and this nation was at peace for the 1st time since the Korean War (1950-1953). This didn't last past September 11, 2001: The USA has been perpetually at war, in Afghanistan and Iraq, with troops in both countries as I write this. If Syrian conflict heats up, President Donald Trump could commit to putting "boots on the ground" in that country. The nuclear genie is back in the proverbial bottle, but such could be a "red line" for Vladimir Putin and Russia, so all bets are off in the event of matters escalating to the point nuclear warheads are launched! Negotiation is the only way forward. Otherwise, human civilization is running the risk of getting blown away!
Not only for nation states on the "world stage" but for online communities, such as UnFuckers Unite, where a firestorm of comments threatened to fracture it into two opposing factions. We are the One People! Both Lisa M. Harrison and Dani Arnold-McKenny hosted the Round Table discussion together until recently, and I DO NOT CONSENT to a split happening in UnFuckers Unite or between these two hosts in alternative media who have new shows independent of each other. Lisa's is Deconstructing the Construct and Dani hosts Transpicuous Views.
Therefore, I choose to stand my ground upon the Keystone of this Bridge into the New Paradigm, with Lantern held high in Common Unity!
I AM a Lamplighter... The Green Light is on... Let us open our Hearts to everyone.
Namaste'... The same I AM in you is the same I AM in me.
