Finally Brother

"Finally brother after a while
The battle will be over
From that day when we shall lay down our burden and study war no more"

Wishful thinking, but there is nothing wrong with that. Even more impressive would be the will and wherewithal to turn the wishes into reality. Even in 2011 I think there is still far too much conflict and far too much willingness from so-called Western leaders to find reasons to engage in conflict. Seems to me we use the term 'war' all too easily these days.

Anyhow, the items in the photo are not real weapons - they are stage props and made of wood. I don't know why we keep them - Mrs S would have to explain that one as she has done stage management and props for the local operatic society. These props currently have their home in our garage. I pass them every day and today decided it was time to photograph them.

The quotation at the top is from a Moby track so acknowledgements to him for inspiring me to connect these props to his song.
