Quote by Norman Hampson

“Pardon if all the cleanness and the beauty Brave rhythym and the immemorial sea Ensare us sometimes with their siren song, Forgetful of our murderous intentions. Through our uneasy peacetime carnival Cold sweat of death holds us like a dew; Even this grey machinery of murder Holds beauty and the promise of a future.”

“Ne'er Fade Away by Stewart Stafford The hillside piper's requiem, Guides old soldier's bones, To slain brothers of his youth, No longer a marching memory. His scars, Valhalla's roadmap, His medals, coins for Charon, His conquests, the beacon fire, His blood scours the path ahead. This churned earth is now home, Weeping craters, foxholes beatified, Barbed wire hands joined in praying, The minefield of life cleared for us all. © Stewart Stafford, 2022. All rights reserved.”

“The hunger for power has made them cruel They shed humanity and shed every rule They bow to the devil, deny what is just Scatter the innocent and trample to dust They speak of peace, yet sharpen their steel, Call the weak "Third World" and aim to kill. Freedom of speech they loudly preach, But wealth and greed are their true reach. They silence the voices that rise against them, Behind angelic masks, hearts are dark, damn. They say that weapons were hidden deep, A kind of danger that will never sleep. So armies marched on innocent lands, And crushed the weak with ruthless hands. No one knows how many were trampled under boot, Girls stripped in the street, women stomped under foot Blood flowed like rivers, streets ran red, Children were orphaned, shattered, and dead. Iraq burned beneath an open sky, Thousands of mothers learned to cry Greed for oil brought them to this land, Lust for wealth left cruelty with no end. That wasn't enough; they targeted many more, From Vietnam to Kabul, from Libya to Lebanon's shore. Across Africa, so many places even heaven's door Bombs rained on innocents, victims of war. In halls of power, the deals were made, Morals and mercy began to fade. Oil and gas, silver and gold, Every treasure they tried to hold. They dream of splitting Russia into parts, To rule the West and Asia through dark arts. They tore the USSR apart, Spread poison into the heart. Hard to see the rise of another nation, So they spread chaos, and call it "liberation. They whispered to Ukraine promises and favors, And scripted a war between two neighbors. Their principles nailed upon the cross, Forgetting what Jesus' crucifixion cost. With thirst for blood, wealth, and dominion, Two ancient foes at last in union. Some came to Palestine as exiles, Scorned by time and European trials. Slowly, shrewdly, they grabbed the land. Palestine seized in ugly bloody hand. Those who once gave shelter and bread Now mourn the countless children dead. Hind Rajab is not alone in their cruelty, Countless children lost to that same brutality. They build their dreamworld on Palestinians' cries, On broken homes and silenced lives. A kingdom rising from despair, While justice fades into thin air. United Nations, blind before oppression, Deaf to the cries born of aggression. A helpless puppet in a ruthless game, Baking its bread on bodies in flame. They call themselves peacekeepers, The biggest lie the world ever hears. They built NATO Just to threaten the world with fears. Fear of Russia they loudly proclaim, To trap Europe was their real aim. Nations trapped in a game of fear Believing the lies they choose to hear. But behind the shield they offered, Another plan was laid. Their lands slowly turned into bases Where foreign armies stayed. Whispers rise around Iran again, All know what hidden aims remain. In the name of women’s freedom, They claim to fight, Yet countless schoolgirls paid the cost, The school was bombed, was that right? For them, no law, no rule holds sway They're street thugs who take and walk away The White House sends black deeds forth, No matter how many die, victory is worth. Cafe Ground Zero cooks recipe of vision with no shame, they celebrate every invasion Beneath the greed and false flag, Old wars returned in a new hashtag. This nation, ruined and ruled by the power hungry and cruel, Dreams to lead the world while breaking every rule. The hunger for power has made them cruel, they shed humanity and rewrite every rule.”
