Unconscious Mutterings (week 199)

Free association is described as a "psychonanalytic procedure in which a person is encouraged to give free rein to his or her thoughts and feelings, verbalizing whatever comes into the mind without monitoring its content." Over time, this technique is supposed to help bring forth repressed thoughts and feelings that the person can then work through to gain a better sense of self. That's an admirable goal, but for the purposes of this excercise, we're just hoping to have a little fun with the technique.

Veteran's Day, 2006

My prayer for you and the world on this Veteran's day: Lord, may some child sometime in near future ask "What was a Veteran?" And a parent will have to think to answer, because wars will cease to exist, and there will be no more Veterans...

Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.

I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again.

And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands end bowed their heads,
And grateful prayers were prayed.

And the people in the streets below
Were dancing 'round and 'round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.
