Here is Tom Waits at his best. Listen, if you dare, to the first song, 'Road to Peace', powerfully sublime cutting into the heart, unwilling to applaud the ills of any and all sides.

'babies sent to kill' timothy r g, 01/19/207

presidents don't send their children.
royalty amass their wealth, let their young starve,
blame the capitalists for their plight;

Chavez, Castro, both in the shadow of Che Guevara,
idealist, communist, user of his people's People's Revolution,
murdered by those that used his romanticism's idealism,
murdered his own for his dream
-- his own murdered him for his commrades.

Bush, first and second family of presidents,
in the shadow of JFK and Ronald Regan,
progenitors of our politcal royalty,
proclaim love of god, country and people,
call killing and murdering the outcome of necessary wars.

presidents and royalty, elected or not, matters not a bit.Revered as heroes, parades for how many they killed in wars;
no one talks of the babies, some while nursing,
killed, euphemism for murder, because they were there,
-- bullshit, they were merely in the way.

the cause is just, we are told
'g-o-d is on the side of the righteous,' we're told
'turn the other cheek,' is said to be taken out of context.

why not kill our babies first
before they learn to fight their just wars?
