Reminded of this song (tnx Jodi) in reaction to the political murderers in high places.... Great song, dark reality. Apropos.

Murder by Numbers

Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
It's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Now if you have a taste for this experience
If you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
You'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Now you can join the ranks of the illustrious
In history's great dark hall of fame
All our greatest killers were industrious
At least the ones that we all know by name
But you can reach the top of your profession
If you become the leader of the land
For murder is the sport of the elected
And you don't need to lift a finger of your hand
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC's
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
Because it's murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers, one, two, three
It's as easy to learn as your A, B, C, D, E

Main link is to the nice clean album version.
A bit more 'loose' as an impromptu jam with Frank Zappa and band... but cool in its own right..

A bonus for #Sting / #Police / #Zappa fans: Murder by numbers, one two three...

Song for today, poignant & urgent:
A 'classic' from Sting:

"Russians"

I have friends & colleagues in RU- lovely people devoted to family, good works, doing what they can to make things better, even within a very oppressive & authoritarian culture which goes back generations.

Yet, with regard to leadership and enablers of war/genocide, some may rightly wonder 'If the Russians love their children too.' (Politburo e.g.)

#STING WAARSCHUWT - #DEMOCRATIE LOOPT GEVAAR

https://youtu.be/pJOLg5xKB0Q
MIRROR https://odysee.com/@dvo:b/sting-waarschuwt-democratie-loopt-gevaar:8

Afgelopen zaterdag(30 juli '22) gaf #Sting een #concert in #Warschau. Dit was wat hij tegen zijn publiek zei: “Democratie wordt aangevallen. Ze wordt aangevallen in ieder land in de wereld. Er is een groot gevaar dat we haar verliezen tenzij wij haar verdedigen. Democratie is rommelig, frustrerend, vaak inefficiënt. Ze heeft constante aandacht en bijstelling nodig. Maar ze is het ondanks dat waard om voor te vechten. Want het alternatief voor democratie is een nachtmerrie. Een gevangenis, een gevangenis van de geest. Geweld, onderdrukking, gevangenschap en je mond moeten houden. Dat alternatief heet tirannie. Alle tirannie is gebaseerd op een leugen. Hoe groter de tirannie, hoe groter de leugen. De tiran liegt tegen zijn land, de wereld en vooral tegen zichzelf. Wie zich uitspreekt tegen de tiran riskeert gevangenschap, foltering en de dood. En toch is dat wat we moeten doen, wij allen. We moeten dat risico nemen en ons recht om de waarheid te spreken, verdedigen. Onze geesten worden niet gevangen gezet. We moeten de vrijheid om onszelf te zijn verdedigen, in onze geest, in onze lichamen. De oorlog in Oekraïne is een absurditeit, gebaseerd op een leugen. Als wij die leugen voor zoete koek aannemen, zal het ons zwaar op de maag gaan liggen. Maar de leugen is bang voor de waarheid, de waarheid moet gehoord worden. En we mogen dit gevecht niet verliezen
