Perspective

[eumelia]

If you follow international news about the Middle East, you will know that there has been an escalation of violence between Hamas and the IDF in the Gaza strip. You will also know, that there was an exchange of fire between Israeli and Syrian forces in the Golan Heights for the first time since 1973.

Very likely, this is spillover from the civil war and not actually intended for us, but you know, we fired warning shots back.

All of the above made think of the song "Love Is All Around" by The Troggs:

Only with alternate lyrics, which you can read under the cut.

Come on everyone, sing it with me. Consider this my pre-Local-Elections fanfare and transformative art, the prosody is a bit meh with my changes, but you'll cut me some slack on that one, right?

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
War is all around me
And so the body count grows

It is written on the wind
That's everywhere I go
So if you really fight me
Come on and let it blow

You know I hate you
I always will
My mind's maid up
By the way that I feel

There's no beginning
There be no end
Cause on my hatte
You can depend

I see your face before me
As I set the crosshairs
I kind a get to thinking
Of all the things we said

You made your threats to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone to fight me
For this Holy Land, I do

You know I hate you
I always will
My mind's maid up
By the way that I feel

There's no beginning
There be no end
Cause on my hate
You can depend

It is written on the missile
That's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it blow
Come on and let it blow
Come on and let it blow
Come on and let it blow
Come on and let it blow
Come on and let it blow
Come on and let it blow
Come on and let it blow
