What Man have done [Song]

WHAT MAN HAVE DONE
By Noora Noor

Man made the jet planes fly,
To rain man bombs from way up high
No man can run, no man can hide
From what man have done.

Man drinks the mighty rivers dry,
To bring man cities electric light
No man can run, no man can hide
From what man have done

Man made the stock exchange,
To give the rich a little more pocket change
No man can run, no man can hide,
From what man have done.

See what this world has become since Adam and Evie - we've run out of Eden,
How much more of a man can deserve to stand before the story's done
When Judgment comes, where man's gonna run, ruh-run, ruh-run, ruh-run?

Man sends his boys to war and never tell them boys what they're fighting for
No man can run, no man can hide from what man have done.

Man puts man in chains,
Man make plenty money from another man's pain
No man can run, no man can hide from what man have done
No man can run, no man can hide from what man have done.

Sing it ladies...

Ain't no running from the, ain't no running from the, ain't no running from the pain.
Ain't no running from the, ain't no running from the, ain't no running from the pain.
Ain't no running from the, ain't no running from the, ain't no running from the pain.
Ain't no running from the, ain't no running from the, ain't no running from the pain.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Noora Noor. I first encountered this lament in the poem, "Lines written in early Spring" by William Wordsworth. The poem was written in April 1798 and is as relevant now as it was then. 

Lines Written in Early Spring
By William Wordsworth [1770 - 1850]

I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

To her fair works did nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

Through primrose tufts, in that sweet bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And ‘tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

The birds around me hopped and played:
Their thoughts I cannot measure,
But the least motion which they made,
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.

The budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.

If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature’s holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?

"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!

A Killing Man [Song]

A KILLING MAN
By Jack Savoretti

If I said I was sorry, would you forget the things I've done?
I don't know why I even worry; I don't believe in anyone.
'Cause in my sleep I'm still running from the demons and the ghosts
That in the night I hear coming, they're coming back for what I stole
'Cause I am a killing man, I am, I am a killing man.

Now some believe in the devil, but who are they to know?
How dare they give a face to evil when they're the ones loving the show?
They don't know that I am a killing man, I am, yes, I am,
Just another man, doing what is said and told
Just like you, my friend, we all sell our souls
Please don't make it hard when I come around for you,
It's not personal, it's just what I do,
'Cause I am a killing man, I am, yes, I am a killing man.

There will be a moment in time when I find the strength to take a stand
And I will look into my stone cold eyes and I will kill the killing man
Yes, I will kill this killing man.

A Note From The Gull

 Thank you, Jack Savoretti.

"We will also change what we do abroad. Many experts, including professionals in our intelligence and security services have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported or fought in other countries, such as Libya, and terrorism here at home.

That assessment in no way reduces the guilt of those who attack our children. Those terrorists will forever be reviled and implacably held to account for their actions.

But an informed understanding of the causes of terrorism is an essential part of an effective response that will protect the security of our people, that fights rather than fuels terrorism.

Protecting this country requires us to be both strong against terrorism and strong against the causes of terrorism. The blame is with the terrorists, but if we are to protect our people we must be honest about what threatens our security."

--Excerpt from Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn's speech on terrorism and foreign policy, May 26, 2017.

"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.

"What Man has made of Man" - Lines written in early Spring [Poem]

LINES WRITTEN IN EARLY SPRING
By William Wordsworth
Read by David Barnes

I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.

Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And ’tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.

The birds around me hopped and played,
Their thoughts I cannot measure:—
But the least motion which they made
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.

The budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.

If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature’s holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?
