00100	                             THE VALLEY
00200	
00300	New am I to this country,
00400	just today have I come,
00500	down from the mountains,
00600	up from the south,
00700	thru the pass,
00800	along the highway,
00900	in from the sea,
01000	to this valley,
01100	valley of green to the west,
01200	valley of brown to the east,
01300	valley that's flat here between.
01400	
01500	How call you its names ?
01600	How do you live ?
01700	Is there peace or war ?
01800	Are your leaders wise or foolish ?
01900	Does art and science flourish ?
02000	What crops grow here ?
02100	Have you news of the kingdom and the nations beyond the horizons ?
02200	
02300	Welcome stranger to our valley,
02400	sit and rest and smoke a joint.
02500	We are warriors in this valley,
02600	among our orchards are the weapons of the kingdom,
02700	day and night we fight the battles,
02800	day and night we build the weapons,
02900	so has it been now for a hundred years.
03000	
03100	You look not to be a warrior,
03200	you have not the arm to wield a sword,
03300	and in this land I've seen no soldier or battlement,
03400	Only orchards and fields and children playing,
03500	yet you say you are of the Kingdom.
03600	Do you mean The Mighty Kingdom  ?
03700	
     

00100	Yes I am a warrior of the Mighty Kingdom,
00200	come I will show you my battle station over there beneath that tree,
00300	See this is my keyboard,
00400	and this is my display screen,
00500	This is where I fight  the enemies of the kingdom,
00600	Many enemies have I conquered,
00700	Many enemies have gotten away,
00800	and still many enemies confront the Kingdom...
00900	
01000	Among the orchards are many stations,
01100	and many warriors, some at keyboards and displays,
01200	others at kilns and ovens to make the semi conducting chips,
01300	others work the many metals,
01400	others sift and refine the ores,
01500	others do the photo etching,
01600	others do the lead bonding,
01700	others do the assembly,
01800	Then all is buried underground,
01900	all the systems, all the units,
02000	all the memory, all the processors, all the bombs,
02100	all the missles, all  the weapons
02200	are buried under ground,
02250	under the orchards where children play.
     

00100	What good is a weapon that's underground ?
00200	When do your weapons shed enemy blood ?
00300	Who are your enemies ?
00400	Where do they live ?
00500	What have they done to you or you to them  ?
