The Box kindly do not touch , this is WAR !! Lyrics : John Denver, : Once upon a time, in the land of Hush-A-Bye, around about the wondrous days of yore, they came across a kind of box, bound up with chains and locked with locks and labeled Kindly do not touch; its war. A decree was issued round about, and all with a flourish and a shout and a gaily-colored mascot tripping lightly on before. Dont fiddle with this deadly box, or break the chains, or pick the locks. And please dont ever play about with war. The children understood. Children happen to be good and they were just as good around the time of yore. They didnt try to pick the locks or break into that deadly box. They never tried to play about with war. Mommies didnt either; sisters, aunts, grannies neither. They were quiet, and sweet, and pretty in those wondrous days of yore. Well, very much the same as now, not the ones to blame somehow for opening up that deadly box of war. But someone did. Someone battered in the lid and spilled the insides out across the floor. A kind of bouncy, bumpy ball made up of guns and flags and all the tears, and horror, and death that comes with war. It bounced right out and went bashing all about, bumping into everything in store. And what was sad and most unfair was that it didnt really seem to care much who it bumped, or why, or what, or for. It bumped the children mainly. And Ill tell you this quite plainly, it bumps them every day and more, and more, and leaves them dead, and burned, and dying, thousands of them sick and crying. Cause when it bumps, its really very sore. Now theres a way to stop the ball. It isnt difficult at all. All it takes is wisdom, and Im absolutely sure that we can get it back into the box, and bind the chains, and lock the locks. But no one seems to want to save the children anymore. Well, thats the way it all appears, cause its been bouncing round for years and years. In spite of all the wisdom wiz since those wondrous days of yore and the time they came across the box, bound up with chains and locked with locks, and labeled Kindly do not touch; its war.
