(7,888 posts)31. Octafish, thank you for the link to Neil Young News. You reminded me
of a 1968 "Punk Rock" song by Arthur Brown, "Fire". I don't know the songwriter. The lyrics reminded me of hellfire missiles, and napalm used in Cambodia and Viet Nam.
The photos of the bombing in Syria reminded me of this. I will never forget Kent State, nor more recent events that defy any illusion that anything has changed.

Arthur Brown 1968 Fire
I am the god of hell fire and I bring you:
Fire
I'll take you to burn.
Fire
I'll take you to learn.
I'll see you burn!
You fought hard and you saved and learned
but all of it's going to burn.
And your mind
Your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind.
Now's your time burn your mind.
You're falling far too far behind.
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
You gonna burn!
Fire
To destroy all you've done.
Fire
To end all you've become.
I'll feel your burn!
You've been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world.
And your mind
Your tiny mind
You know you've really been so blind.
Now's your time burn your mind
You're falling far too far behind.
Fire
I'll take you to burn.
Fire
I'll take you to learn.
You gonna burn, burn, burn
Fire
I'll take you to burn
