Ooh war, I despise 
'Cause it means destruction of innocent lives 
War means tears, to thousands of mother's eyes 
When their sons go off to fight and lose their lives 
I said, war (h'uh) 
Good God, y'all! 
(What is it good for?)

― Edwin Starr, “War (What Is It Good For?)” from 

the 1970 album War and Peace (written by 

Norman Whitfield, Barrett Strong)

Those who call for Nonsense will find that it comes. 

― C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength: A Modern Fairy-Tale 

for Grown-Ups (book three in the Space Trilogy; 1945; Ch 17)

The Sixty-seventh Psalm

God be gracious to us and bless us, 

And cause His face to shine upon us-- 

That Your way may be known on the earth, 

Your salvation among all nations.

Let the peoples praise You, O God; 

Let all the peoples praise You.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy; 

For You will judge the peoples with uprightness 

And guide the nations on the earth. 

Let the peoples praise You, O God; 

Let all the peoples praise You.

The earth has yielded its produce; 

God, our God, blesses us.

God blesses us, 

That all the ends of the earth may fear Him. 

(Prayer)
