One Tin Soldier
Growing up going to church camp, this song got memorized. No wonder I believe war is wrong! This is a chilling video that shows the horror of war, the greed of capitalizm our oil consumption in the US, and the pain this war is causing, the dehumanizing effect of this war on both our soldiers and all the people who are in harms way.
Let's pray for peace as we meditate on the violence of the cross this lent, and redemption of the world in love.
If you can't stand the site of blood, I wouldn't watch this video.

I haven't heard "One Tin Solder" since the 70s....hearing it again brought up many memories of growing up with a war going on and thinking political assassination was normal. Your post inspired one of my own with another song, a little earlier:
