Us and Them
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me and You
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do
‘Forward’, he cried from the rear and the front rank died
And the General sat and the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black and Blue
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up and Down
But in the end it's only round and round and round
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words the poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside.
‘Well, I mean, they're gonna kill ya, so like, if you give 'em a quick sh...short, sharp shock, they don't do it again.
Dig it? I mean he got off light, 'cause I could've given him a thrashin' but I only hit him once.
It's only the difference between right and wrong, innit? I mean good manners don't cost nothing, do they? Eh?’
Down and Out
It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about
With, Without.
And who'll deny it's what the fightings all about
Out of the way, it's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For want of the price of tea and a slice
The old man died
Mein Eindruck ist, dass die Regenbogen-Flagge derzeit zu einem noch größeren Symbol wird. Sie wird zu einem allgemeinen Symbol für Toleranz, Offenheit, Empathie, Vielfalt und Frieden, gegen Faschismus und Rassismus. Sie wird zu einem Zeichen für "sei kein Arsch, dann wirst du akzeptiert wie du bist". Das richtet sich natürlich weiterhin insbesondere an queere Menschen, aber schließt auch so viele mehr mit ein.
Ich finde das ist eine wunderschöne Entwicklung und macht es umso verwerflicher, dass sich die Konservativen so vehement gegen ein durch und durch positives Symbol verwehren.
