Radical yet Classic Life

罪を憎んで人を憎まずといいますが
なかなか難しい。
はじめから罪を犯さないような
方法は見つけられなかったのでしょうか。



Daddy, Daddy, come and look
See what I've found
A Little ways away from here
While digging in the ground

Come away Melinda

Come in and close the door
It's nothing, just a picture-book
They had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, come and look
Why, there's four or five little Melinda girls
Inside my picture book

Come away Melinda

Come in and close the door
There were lots of little girls like you
Before they had the war

Daddy, Daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry do!
Why, there's someone in a pretty dress
She's all grown up like you
Won't you tell me why

Come away Melinda

Come in and close the door
That someone is your Mommy
You had before the war

Daddy, Daddy, tell me if you can
Why can't things be the way they were
Before the war began

Come away Melinda

Come in and close the door
The answer lies in yesterday
Before they had the war

並んだ言葉の重さを感じます。





大人たちの『戦争』という権力遊びの犠牲となって
子供たちは墓つくりと十字架盗みという禁じられた遊びを始めた。






厚顔無恥な指導者のために存在する国の描く夢。
その国を生み出した大国のエゴイズムと思い上がり。
いまさらになってフランケンシュタインの怪物に
創造者自らが手を焼いているという
人知の浅はかさ。


いったい、いつまで愚かしい諍いが続くのでしょう。。
どれほど多くの血と涙をみれば気づくのでしょう。
科学技術は地球を滅ぼすにたる破壊力を持つにいたったというのに
地球を平和に保つことは困難なようです。
