I enclose a couple of links about Peace. I would be glad if you could mention them on your site somewhere. The YouTube video starts with my poetic rewrite (with permission) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I have previously written for Amnesty and the U.N. And performed at the Scottish Parliament. Kind regards Ashby
The Human Act
ReplyDeleteThey enjoy an education
And the benefits it offers
They take our medication
And the housing from our coffers
They slit the throats of decent folks
And radicalize our young
They twitter all their bitter
From the freedom of their tongue
They pillage every village
And plot to bomb our towns
They relish every spillage
Of blood upon our gowns
They’re over here and here they’ll stay
To blacken darkest nights
For Brussels has a suspect way
Of quoting human rights
Yet if human rights is what it is
I’m confounded and confused
As my selfish mind is all a’tiz
As my own have been refused.

Hi All,
I enclose a couple of links about Peace. I would be glad if you could mention them on your site somewhere. The YouTube video starts with my poetic rewrite (with permission) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I have previously written for Amnesty and the U.N. And performed at the Scottish Parliament.
Kind regards
Ashby
