It astounds me how songs - the first time you hear them - can become so heavily imprinted with the energy of that moment that for the rest of its existence, it’s forever shackled to that time and mood and energy; sentenced to a life attached to a singular moment, that no amount of change will alter.
We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight. - John Lennon
مآ أجمّل أنْ تصمتْ
فيْ ؤجهْ منْ ينتظرْ منِك الخِصَام
وما أجمل أنْ تضحك
فيْ وجهْ منْ يُنتظرْ منك البكـاءْ
How beautiful is it to stay silent
When someone expects you to be enraged from them.
And how beautiful it is to laugh
When someone thinks you are going to shed tears.

“The poster’s irreverent message subverts the American slur ‘red’ which can refer to either a person with Communist leanings or a Native American (as in ‘red skin’). It promotes the positive idea that the right to a peaceful existence is more important than political affiliation or ethnic background.”
