Though I wish it were otherwise, it doesn’t seem to matter a Dickie bird whether I like it or not. The last time I checked…
“There is a war between the rich and poor… between the man and the woman… between the left and right… between the black and white… between the odd and the even… between the ones who say there is a war and the ones who say there isn’t.” – Leonard Cohen
…appears to describe the world we live in today as if nothing had changed, except everybody knows the list is even longer than that now.
Personally, I don’t think more war will make the world a better place. I also don’t believe war can be ended by the same stories that start it.
That, and because it tells more than a story ever could, is why I speak up for the story always missing from the stories told at school — the story of words.
