Is war needed? You tell me! The lyrics weave a complex set of answers through the account of one family. It reveals the reality of war: divided families, death, male socialization to perpetuate violence, and governments that disguise patriotism with selfish motives. Love and peace conquer hate and war. It trumps the colors of any national flag, political boundary, religious affiliation, and all socio-economic status. If you email me, I'll give you more food for thought. Thanks. Ransom
