Apocalypse Now Intro (The Doors - The End) - repost

Note:

This repost seems more apt than ever.  Was Jim Morrison a genius or what?  The fall of Rome is certainly the model for what western civilization is going through now.  We are literally "lost in a Roman wilderness of pain, and all the children are insane".  The people at the top are drunken with a false sense of their own importance, like certain Roman Emperors who thought they were gods.  All the children are looking for leadership from an insane bunch of hedonists at the top, who will destroy anything good that emerges that might actually help improve the lot of the sheep.  The sheep are being led to their destruction.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah




Comment:

A friend in high school loved this song. He died young, or relatively young. For some reason, this song is playing in my mind. I hope it doesn't mean anything of ominous portent.
