It Tolls For Thee


UB40: The Earth Dies Screaming




Every time I hear a political speech
or I read those of our leaders,
I am horrified at having, for years,
heard nothing which sounded human.
It is always the same words telling
the same lies. And the fact that men
accept this, that the people’s anger
has not destroyed these hollow clowns,
strikes me as proof that men attribute
no importance to the way they are governed; that they gamble
– yes, gamble – with a whole part of their life and their so called vital interests.
--Albert Camus







Eddy Grant: Living on the Frontline


The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.
--Gloria Steinem
