The other day we were going ona industry visit......i had a very interesting discusssion with a friend....he is from Assam.....and we ended up having a discussion on insurgency in the north east....I was suprised as to how detached they live...and how little we konw of what goes on there....the insurgents kill armuy jawan....the army extolls revenge...and the insurgents kill more......and so it continues the vicious circle of violence.......when will this all stop.....when......A song comes to my mind........
I cant believe the news todayOh,
I cant close my eyes and make it go away
How long...How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...
cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Broken bottles under childrens feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I wont heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall
Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday bloody sunday...)
(allright lets go!)
And the battles just begun
Theres many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart
Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...
cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Tonight...
Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)
Tonight
Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)
(come get some!)
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
I wipe your tears away
(sunday, bloody sunday)
I wipe your blood shot eyes
(sunday, bloody sunday)
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)
(here I come!)
And its true we are immune
When fact is fiction and tv reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die
The real battle yet begun (sunday, bloody sunday)
To claim the victory jesus won (sunday, bloody sunday)On...
Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday...
It also reminds me of an play we had in Gulmohar reader in our 5th or 6th....it was about an German Concentration Camp Doctor . who had an change of heart...was treating them in the refugee camp after the war....and when the son of a couple finds out he wants revenge...but his parents tell him to forgive....because..the circle of violence has to stop somewhere.......how long will such stupidity go on.....somebody has to take the courage.....to stop...who that will be only time can say............
