“I hope the Russians love their children too” 48”x48” acrylic, enamel, paper and graphite on birch plywood. Life imitating art once again. I made this piece in 2006. Sting wrote the lyrics in 1985 saying “this is a pro children song” “In Europe and America there’s a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets Mister Kruschev said, “We will bury you” I don’t subscribe to his point of view It’d be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer’s deadly toy? There is no monopoly on common sense On either side of the political fence We share the same biology, regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too... @sting @tulsigabbard @eddievedder @kellyslater #russians #ukraine #thedreamoftheblueturtles
