"Fragile"
If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are how fragile we are
How fragile we are how fragile we are
This song from Sting is about moving on. Steel like knives and bullets should not be used on human flesh. Of course we cannot fully erase the memories and we should treat it as learning experiences. Wars are decisions of the select few so we should not blame the whole nation for it. Like the Philippines was ruled by Spain, USA and Japan but those bad memories of colonization were replaced/ are being replaced with goodwill from those countries. People should make new memories. Happy memories. That is why entertainers, politicians and persons of influence should realize their moral obligations. They can amuse, inspire, make people laugh, cry, sing and dance. Most of all they teach the good word.
