Featured Song: “Just War Theory” by Micah Bournes
“Live by the sword/Die by the sword/Say you want peace/But forever make war/Freedom ain’t free/Better aim for the core/But freedom ain’t freedom/If you killin’ the poor”
“Armed forces recruit youth to fight wars of cowardly men/Three years too young to be trusted with a margarita/But Uncle Sam handin’ teenagers guns/Children deployed to front lines/At the command of a commander in chief/They were too young to vote for/Killin’ poor folk they do not know/Over conflicts they do not understand”
I said this the first time I shared a song by Micah Bournes, but this song, and the entire A Time Like This album, changed me. I am deeply grateful for Micah Bournes speaking truth to power. Click on the hyperlinked song title above to listen to and purchase the album through Bandcamp.
