The Sun Is Burning

This was an early one, made on my phone with my daughter’s help. You’ll have to forgive the spelling on one of the slides, it was just one of those things you don’t notice until it’s too late. This moves from Palestine back to the future of El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and other. I’m amazed how many people are unaware of US colonial and proxy war history. Even now, “patriots” and non-combat pretenders write me hate and threat mail because they refuse to believe how evil the US has ALWAYS been.

The sun is burning in the sky
Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by.
In the park the dreamy bees are droning in the flowers among the trees
And the sun is in the sky.

Now the sun is in the west
Little kids lay down to take their rest
And the couples in the park are holding hands and waiting for the dark
And the sun is in the west.

Now the sun is sinking low
Children playing know it's time to go.
High above a spot appears, a little blossom blooms and then draws near
And the sun is sinking low.

Now the sun has come to earth
Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death.
Death comes in a blinding flash of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
And the sun has come to earth.

Now the sun has disappeared
All is darkness, anger, pain, and fear.
Twisted sightless wrecks of men go crawling on their knees and cry in pain
And the sun has disappeared.
