POWER IS NOT THE SAME AS BEING EMPOWERED


I think of George W Bush when I listen to the lyrics of this song. I wonder what was in the mind of the composer or lyricist who wrote these words.

Weeping
sung by Josh Groban with Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Fifteen year old Brittany from Seattle put together this video about
South Africa' s apartheid.


I knew a man who lived in fear
It was huge, it was angry,

It was drawing near.
Behind his house a secret place
Was the shadow of the demon
He could never face.

He built a wall of steel and flame

And men with guns to keep it tame

Then standing back he made it plain

That the nightmare would never ever rise again

But the fear and the fire and the guns remain.

It doesn't matter now it's over anyhow

He tells the world that it's sleeping

But as the night came round I heard

It slowly sound

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping

It wasn't roaring, it was weeping.


And then one day the neighbors came

They were curious to know about the smoke and flame

They stood around outside the wall

But of course there was nothing to be heard at all


"My friends," he said,
"We've reached our goal

The threat is under firm control


As long as peace and order reign

I'll be damned if I can see a reason to explain

Why the fear and the fire and the guns remain."

Call 1~800~GENOCIDE
and ask your U.S. Representative and Senators
to pass the funding fully for the UN Peacekeepers
for Darfur
