I feel so Pejmanic posting this love poem, but he<\/a> started it with all the poems he’s posting these days. So here’s on with which I became reacquainted this weekend:<\/p>\n

Cruise<\/b>
\nby David Gilmour<\/p>\n

Cruise you are making me sing
\nNow you have taken me under your wing
\nCruise, we both know you’re the best
\nHow can they say you’re like all the rest<\/p>\n

Cruise, we’re both travelling so far
\nBurning out fast like a shooting star
\nCruise I feel sure that your song will be sung
\nAnd will ring in the ears of everyone<\/p>\n

Saving our children, saving our land
\nProtecting us from things we can’t understand
\nPower and Glory, Justice and Right
\nI’m sure that you’ll help us to see the light
\nAnd the love that you radiate will keep us warm
\nAnd help us to weather the storm<\/p>\n

Cruise, you have taken me in
\nAnd just when I’ve got you under my skin
\nYou start ignoring the fears I have felt
\n‘Cause you know you can always make my poor heart melt<\/p>\n

Please don’t take what I’m saying amiss
\nOr misunderstand at a time such as this
\nBecause if such close friends should ever fall out
\nWhat would there be left worth fighting about<\/p>\n

Power and glory, justice and right
\nI’m sure that you’ll help them to see the light
\nWill you save our children, will you save our land
\nAnd protect us from all the things we can’t understand?
\nPower and glory and justice for all
\nWho will we turn to when your hard rain falls<\/p>\n

(Lyric source<\/a>.) It’s from his album About Face<\/i><\/a>, and somehow I think this 1984esque song probably meant it as satire.<\/p>\n

I, on the other hand, remember the feelings I had when I sat in a stadium in southwest Missouri and an A10 flew over. An ugly machine crafted only to rain fire and death. Even though I knew this, I was happy that our technology is better than theirs. All of them others<\/i> theirs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
