LET'S GO FLY A KITE! - Not Drones!
With billions for artilleries,
You can make your own enemies
With your feet on the ground
You’re a drone in a fight
With your missiles tight,
On a red spot of light.
Come fly these with us!
Oh, oh, oh!
Let’s go fly a kite
Put down your dynamite!
Let’s go fly a kite and stop ignoring
Breached human rights and then,
We can be friends again;
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!
When you send it droning up there
All at once there’s war in the air
They drop bombs where they please
Over houses and trees
Rarely hitting their sight
One more school is alight!
Oh, oh, oh!
Let’s go fly a kite
Put down your dynamite!
Let’s go fly a kite and stop ignoring
Breached human rights and then,
We can be friends again;
Oh, let’s go fly a kite!

Fly Kites Not Drones -
Fly Kites Not Drones INTERNATIONAL week of action - an 'uplifting' campaign for all ages, to raise awareness about the use of armed drones, and moreover to show solidarity with civilians (especially children) living under the threat of armed drones.
By taking to your local park, beach, play ground, garden, town centre, military base etc and flying a kite you are actively showing solidarity with all children who live under armed drones.
The campaign was started by young people in Afghanistan who are now too afraid to play in the open, to take part in their most loved past time of kite flying, because of the threat from armed drones.
This week of action coincides with the Persian New Year, Nao Roz, which takes place on the 21st March and is a traditional time of year for kite running...
