as tears go by... when will they end

[Jeffersons Ghost]

AS TEARS GO BY

Jagger/Richards

It is the evening of the day

I sit and watch the children play

Smiling faces I can see

But not for me

I sit and watch

As tears go by


My riches can’t buy everything

I want to hear the children sing

All I hear is the sound

Of rain falling on the ground

I sit and watch

As tears go by


It is the evening of the day

I sit and watch the children play

Doin’ things I used to do

They think are new

I sit and watch

As tears go by

1. Wow. Amazing.

Very sad, and very powerful. Thank you for doing this. It's an important message.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

4. Why would some try to push it from the screen?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

6. everyone here isn't a democrat... many just act like one and do mischief

well, they usually don't do a good act... know the tree (or bush) by it's fruit in DU... and welcome newby!

[madokie]

8. Anytime. very well done. K&R

As a vietnam vet I'm glad I didn't see these type images then. The atrocities committed by the us forces then is nothing like what is happening in bushes* war today

[Jeffersons Ghost]

13. I know but the damn PROPAGANDA NAZIS hide it!

I looked a VERY long time in Google Images for just one picture showing a dead child or woman... They've hidden all that, not only on TV but also online. I'm also a Vietnam Vet and I knew exactly what to search for to find the image I finally used in the OP. There was only one picture of it but the dead you see above are lying on the ground outside a small vil called MY LAI (pronounced MEE-LIE) (pronounced by your government MY-LIE)

7. that used to be one of my favorite Stones songs . . .

along with "Tell Me" and "Not Fade Away" . . . nice job putting it to good use . . .

[Jeffersons Ghost]

14. marianne faithful sang it too

I can't quite remember if she had something to do with writing it or if the Stones wrote it for her but in a subsequent release the Rolling Stones got the big hit.

[Virginia Dare]

22. Mick Jagger wrote it for her when they were together back in the day...n/t

[OneBlueSky]

29. yup . . . I remember her version, too . . . great stuff . . . n/t

I've been wondering how they do those short bites online... I want my anti-war effort to be more powerful... it's my birthday today DU and all I want is Peace, which might seem selfish with me having 3 draft age (or close) children... kick it up for my birthday please

[Breeze54]

20. Happy Birthday!!

I wish you a great day!
I'm sitting here in anticipation of my son's return from a war zone...Iraq.
He says they are leaving soon!!!!!!!!!!
But he can't tell me exactly when... for safety reasons. ARGH!!!!!!
My mouth is dry and I can't sleep and I'm just full of so many emotions,
it's hard to put my finger on just one.

I hope you figure out how to make a little video!
I hope this nightmare is over for everyone soon!!!
!!






:)
PS. Photobucket is hosting video's now...and that other online photo place too!

[ArmchairMeme]

18. K & R

So many young people have any idea what war is like. It certainly has not changed their lifestyle here in the U.S. in any way. They still go to the mall and play their favority video games and go to the movies. People still go to their jobs and mow their lawns and play golf.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

23. welcome and thanks

welcome to DU ArmchairMeme... and welcome to a Peace Rally... at their heart, all my threads will continue to be an ongoing peace rally at DU... I'm a Vietnam Vet... I like to say, "If you want to see a future war protester, look under a helmet... John Kerry knows what I mean... I hope you'll attend future peace rallies on my threads

we can't blame kids for missing this lesson, if we don't teach it... media and our government tax dollars are what is hiding the horrors of war from america... it's different than nam. imagery like i post is even drying up fast online... thanks for keeping my little peace rally public.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

24. Kick.

[Jeffersons Ghost]

25. thanks for the kick CrownPrinceBandar

all I am saying, is give peace a chance... and let everyone see the alternative to peace on my humble threads... thanks, keep kicking DU!

[soup]

28. Powerful, Heartwrenching, Amazing...and Heartbreaking.......

It just rips some of our guts out.... And, I remember that song and the "impending gloom" I felt when I heard it...putting it together with your photo's in OUR TIME...makes it even more gutwrenching.............

I can't say a "thanks" for this...but I'm so glad you posted it...to remind us out there...even those of us who "GET IT!"
