Track 2 (“Baby Be Mine”): This song starts with percussion and synthesizer sound effects. The lyrics begin at 0:20.

Although on different scales, in both situations the response of violence is not surprising but only in the case of children is it universally reprimanded. The universal acceptance of violence is a staggering reality. Many wonder if there is a way to create change that does not solicit killing people on the opposing side. Non-violent protesting is for…
