Mr. World [Song]

MR. WORLD
By Natasha Wilson
Arranged by Leston Paul
"Introducing Miss Natasha Wilson"
T&T 1987

Recession, over-population
Political exploitation, repression of conversation
Mental delusion, moral dissipation
Material illusion, cultural and racial segregation.

Oh Mr. World, have pity on poor man
Try and behold his life of frustration
Get to understand, "A hungry man is an angry man."
Social revolution is the only solution
For this civilization.

Who helpless exist under duress
In the fight for wealth and success
The jobless in utter distress
In a world like this, there is no forgiveness
Mostly greediness, selfishness, injustice and craziness.

Oh Mr. World, have pity on poor man
Try and behold his life of frustration
Get to understand, "A hungry man is an angry man."
Social revolution is the only solution
For this civilization.

Detainment, unlawful arraignment
Argument and disagreement, accident and disappointment
Crime and punishment, violent excitement
Sums up discontentment
Detriment to guilty and innocent.

Oh Mr. World, have mercy on poor man
Try and behold his tears of frustration
Get to understand, "A hungry man is an angry man."
Social reconstruction is the only salvation
For the new generation.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Natasha.

I find Natasha's "Oh, Mr. World" so relevant...a plea for sanity.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
