HAPPY CHRISTMAS

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun ...


... John Lennon (1940-1980), Artist, Poet, Songwriter, Peace Activist, Accidental Physicist (read the lyrics to Glass Onion), and a European of some note.

So this is Christmas

I hope you had fun

The near and the dear ones

The old and the young

And so this is Christmas

For weak and for strong

For rich and for poor ones

The road is so long

And so happy Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's Hope it's a good one

Without any fear

So this is Christmas

For black and for white

For yellow and red ones

Let's stop all the fight

War is over

If you want it

 War is over

Now

Except war will never be over as long as there are arms merchants who make considerable amounts of money, and who use that money to grease the bank accounts of politicians.

IF AND ONLY IF their money were spent to do something POSITIVE, like establish a Lunar Colony, we'd all be better off and our species would have a fighting chance of survival.

BUT WHERE'S THE PROFIT IN THAT ?!

MORTALITY and GREED: Not always a good thing.

Sigh.

Nice dream anyway, John. We still miss you.
