An Eagle doesn't eat Sparrows, by W.Laufs

In the lyrics of In My Secret Life by Leonard Cohan you will find the following sentences, “Looked through the paper. Makes you want to cry. Nobody cares if the people live or die. And the dealer wants you thinking. That it’s either black or white.” I think there is a lot of truth to this. The dealer controls the narrative. The last thing the dealer wants is for people to get along and live in peace. But, it also seems true that life on earth is a bloodthirsty business and only the strongest survive. The idea for this story came after a famous Springbok victory considering the mixed emotions of joy and hatred that followed.
