This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt of 4 July 2018 — Resurrect.

It seems to me that without music we have nothing; we are nothing.  For many of us, it is central to our cultural identity and our personal identity.  Music defines me as a person and has the power to move me to tears.  It feeds my soul, providing a spiritual healing.  Music has been used to signal the commencement of battles, send coded messages and commemorate the dead.  I can’t think of a country that does not have a national anthem.  It can be a symbol of revolution and protest.  Music makes anything seem possible, even a new world, where we can live together in peace.  Make music not war.
