The spacecraft landed with friendly aliens who brought a melody so beautiful that all the world was entranced. People were unable to fight after hearing their song only once. Wars ceased. Violence left the soul.
Dubbed The Ali-Tones, they literally brought world peace. Happiness.
Then the heavens and skies grew dark with the millions of other space spheres arriving. The musical alien race left a planet doomed to explode and found a very suitable new home—one filled with a population that would offer no resistance in the slightest way. The music would dominate them completely as new masters took over.
I do wonder how world peace will be achieved. And when we have turned all the swords into ploughshares what about the aliens? A thought-provoking story
Music has always been able to reach those older folks who had lost their memories, when nothing else could, and how do we explain that? There is magic in music.
Ah, music as the way to peace. Beautiful sentiment!
This is awesome! Love it, M.D.!
