Cold War Blues

 Cold War Blues

 

Capitalism is marching dreaming of mammon

The depths of Africa is suffering from famine

The Russian bear wants to tear the world apart

Because communism exists in the core of his heart

 

There is a time you must pay your dues

Sitting in fear singing cold war blues

Insanity it comes in a myriad of hues

Angel of death bringing cold war blues

 

You’re damned if you don’t and you’re damned if you do

There’s going to be a battle to divide the world into two

And all I want to do is sing my songs of peace

May God brings us the love to make all this hatred cease

 

There is a time you must pay your dues

Sitting in fear singing cold war blues

Insanity it comes in a myriad of hues

Angel of death bringing cold war blues

 

I’m leaving on a jet airplane

Gotta go or I’ll go insane

Off to America the land of the free

Off to America and opportunity

Fair well Uganda fair well

About my future who can tell?

It may be heaven it may be hell

Fair well Uganda fair well

 

Nuclear stalemate terrorizes the strongest of men

It seems that Armageddon is coming round again

When will we learn the lessons of a love pure?

When will we be able to sleep in a place secure?

 

There is a time you must pay your dues

Sitting in fear singing cold war blues

Insanity it comes in a myriad of hues

Angel of death bringing cold war blues

Silent Cries

Silent Cries

 

The story of King Leopold is being retold

They barter innocent souls for the price of gold

And don’t you know it’s the same as yesterday

The powers that be simply look away

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

As long as they get their money let the people be damned

They’re raping the women while stealing the land

For the wealth in the ground the armies are here

Forces of terror they deal the devil’s fear

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

From the history of man the lessons are learned

As a human being you should be concerned

When your brother perishes in genocide

For the love of God you must choose a side

 

What would you do if it happened to you?

Tomorrow the nightmare could come true

The holocaust it never comes to an end

Until we embrace all humanity as friend

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh, why don’t you answer our silent cries?

 

The river flows red from the blood of the slain

Greed is the evil deed that drives man insane

We must stop the tide peace can’t be denied

In Congo once more the pure are crucified

 

Can you hear our silent cries (silent cries)?

Congo the heart of Africa slowly dies

They say they care they speak many lies

Oh why don’t you answer our silent cries?

Poet To The Poor- Beyond The Poetry

 Poet To The Poor- Beyond The Poetry

 

          Before one can solve a problem, one must find a solution. This is, of course, a mental endeavor. One can only share a vision when one can articulate it—that is, express it into words so that it can be shared and conveyed to another. That is why education is so important—to learn from those who walked our way in the past and to have the means to learn from one another. We must be able to talk the talk, or we can never walk the walk.

          I defy the logical view of life. I am not saying that life is not logical. Rather, I am emphasizing that there is something more. There is an intangible that exists. A 'spirit' to humanity if you will. There is something that makes a certain combination of musical notes pleasurable to the ear. There is something in the right coordination of colors and brush strokes that thrills the heart. There is something in words, when cleverly written that inspire the soul to action.

          Poet To The Poor, Poems Of Hope For The Bottom One Percent is a book of poetry with a mission. It is one that will infuse the reader with a zeal of revolutionary desire to change the world. For the common man has many heroes. Some, Jesus Christ, Langston Hughes, Pete Seeger, Fred Hampton, Mumia Abu Jamal, Joe Hill and Mother Jones are recognizable names. (And if you don't know them you should investigate them!!) But there are many more. Anonymous faces from my life who have bravely struggled in their daily existence.

          For you see society is created from the whole. Though the rich man dominates the world is certainly not is. As Chief Joseph taught the indigenous lesson, 'nobody can own the land'. In the same way 'nobody can own the truth'. There in lies the beauty of Poet To The Poor. It speaks of those truths, present, past and future that the bankers and their ilk would like for us to forget. It presents ideas that have the potential of changing the world.

The Mistress Money

 

By John Kaniecki

 

She’s a sultry siren singing her song

A temptress with a taunting desire

Men blindly serve her doing all wrong

Cold as ice hot as hell fire

Money, that’s her name

Evil is her favorite game

She seems to be a mighty power

Her servants kill, destroy and devour

But she is simply a piece of paper

Free your mind you shall escape her

Money, that’s her name

Greed it is to blame

Don’t fall in love with Mistress Money

Don’t make her your sweet honey

She’ll give you a thrill

All the while setting you up for the kill

She laughs when nothings funny

That’s Mistress Money

 

          Poet to the Poor is a journey. It will take you places that you never even knew existed. Important places where you can gather strength and learn wisdom. It is a work in the greater context of the left. It draws from our diversity but unifies us in our purpose. To make the world a better place for all people to live in.

          Above all it is written for the disenfranchised. For the poor fellow who is down and out on his luck. Hope is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. You can kill a man but you can't kill an idea. If you can get a man to believe that there is something good coming down the line than wonderful things will happen. Not only will they survive but they will work towards a brighter future. Hope never surrenders.

          Please support the cause by purchasing "Poet To The Poor, Poems Of Hope For The Bottom On Percent". The Kindle edition can bought for less than two dollars. For less than a cup of coffee you can get something the will warm your heart. And if you are kind enough to purchase my book of poetry then please give a review on Amazon. At a certain point I hope that Poet To The Poor will become a loud voice in the never ending struggle against oppression for liberation of all. The revolution will always survive it is up to us to make it thrive.

Get Up And Live

 Get Up And Live

 

Wake up get up the sun is rising in the eastern skies

Time you understand the message and open up your eyes

They’ve muddied the rivers and they polluted the skies

In the caverns of your mind so they planted their lies

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace

Get up and live make the world a better place

 

We are on a journey we’re the people of one nation

In service to your brethren is the glory of salvation

So you were born in poverty and baptized in sorrow

That was yesterday my friend you still got tomorrow

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace

Get up and live make the world a better place

 

Some men they were born to sing the blues

And some men they walk the Earth with no shoes

And some men live in palaces grand

But all men are equal do you understand?

For God He is the creator of us all

And in His sight there is no great or small

 

The philosophy of equality is not a radical notion

Hand in hand sharing all we set the future in motion

You are a stone in God’s temple a wonderful thing

You have reasons to rejoice you have reasons to sing

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace

Get up and live make the world a better place

 

Won’t you walk with me as I go down the narrow and straight?

I promise you love I have forsaken the ways of hate

Look in the mirror my friend tell me what do you see

I see the secret in your eyes I see humanity

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace 

Get up and live make the world a better place

Listen to GET UP AND LIVE

Get Up And Live

 Get Up And Live

 

Wake up get up the sun is rising in the eastern skies

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

Get up and live life is a gift of grace

Get up and live make the world a better place

In service to your brethren is the glory of salvation

So you were born in poverty and baptized in sorrow

That was yesterday my friend you still got tomorrow

 

Get up and live you only get one chance

Get up and live ask your sweetheart to dance

I Am Aleena

 I Am Aleena

 

Hear my voice I am the advocate of the poor

I sing for freedom I sing against war

Mother Africa she will rise as before

Good times are near knocking on the door

 

I am Aleena from the Uganda wild

I am Aleena an African child

I fight for all yearning to be free

I am Aleena the champion of liberty

 

My hands are busy planting the seeds

We must work hard to meet our needs

I shall not go down without a fight

We are the generation to make it right

 

I am Aleena from the Uganda wild

I am Aleena an African child

I fight for all yearning to be free

I am Aleena the champion of liberty

 

I want you to sing this song with me

I want you to walk by my side

I want you to sing this song with me

Africa is our mother say it with pride

 

We shall build temples for the God of Love

He will answer with blessing from above

The Almighty will smile and turn the page

We are walking to a blessed age

 

I am Aleena from the Uganda wild

I am Aleena an African child

I fight for all yearning to be free

I am Aleena the champion of liberty 

I Am Aleena
