I wrote this after thinking about children dying by accident in Palestine. Marc Gordon and I recorded the video very quickly in his monthly guitar shop in Cardigan in our usual let’s bang it down straight away manner. We are having fun doing these Tuesday session videos and it looks like we will get out and about for more in the coming months as I am retiring from wage slavery next weekend.
THE GIRL IN THE GARNET COLOURED DRESS
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL
IN HER GARNET COLOURED DRESS
THE PERFECT IMAGE OF SERENITY
CARRYING A PILE OF TABOON BREAD
FROM HER GRANDMOTHERS OVEN
GOLD COINS GLINTING ON HER CAP
SMILING AT LEMONS IN THE SUNSHINE
WITH ASSURED STILNESS OF HER HEAD
STOPPING BEFORE CROSSING THE ROAD
SHE CRUMPLES TO THE DUSTY GROUND
ANOTHER COLLATERAL OBSCENITY
AN ISRAELI RICOCHET LEAVES HER DEAD
ARE WE CRYING YET?
ARE WE CRYING YET?
ARE WE CRYING YET?
ARE WE?
