Blowin’ In The Wind

My prayers go out to the families and friends of those who died on flight MH17.  In the midst of this tragedy, one thing is clear to me.   It took the deaths of 298 innocent persons from 11 countries to wake us up to the absurdity and obscenity of war. What could possibly be accomplished by sending destructive machines through the air to kill people and destroy properties?

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, ’n’ how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, ’n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind

- Bob Dylan
