London

Religion, rights, anger, hate. Bombs, death, fear. Survival, war, bigotry. I keep thinking of Elvis Costello, what ever happended to peace love and understanding?

My son, Declan, was born only weeks before 9/11. I am saddened by the world my children are inheriting.

Peace to everyone in London. My friend Steve, I owe you a long overdue note. I hope you are well.

So, here are the lyrics to one of the greatest songs....

Peace Love and Understanding by Elvis Costello

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.

I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?

And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?


So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.

'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

Here is to more peace love and understanding.

Simply,

K
