Pink Floyd ~ Album: A Momentary Lapse Of Reason (1987)
Written By D.J. Gilmour - A. Moore



On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden......



And the words they say
Which we won’t understand
Don’t accept that what’s happening
Is just a case of others’ suffering
Or you’ll find that you’re joining in
The turning away......




It’s a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it’s shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we’re all alone
In the dream of the proud.....



On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night



No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It’s not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there’ll be
No more turning away?

..."In the end..it's not the words of our enemies we'll remember..but the silence from our friends." ~MLK~ :headbang:

Your photo essay is moving, and that song keeps playing in my head.

Good will triumph eventually. Or I will personally and single-handedly kick Bad's ass!

That quote from MLK is very relevant, eh?

....wish hindsight was more commonly used to prevent the past from repeating. Yet... :nopity:

:hi:

:kick:

:kick:

....and if the last 5 years are the indicator...we'll get the purpetual war the Pentagon has made our reality for as far as the eye can see... :nuke:

I'll be doing everything that I can to bring about positive changes in my world because the change needs to begin in everyone's neighborhood.

Complacency kills - mind, body and spirit !

One person at a time we can make a difference.

:think:

You should cross post it at GD. This stuff needs to be seen. I love those picture collages.
