The stupidest and most brutal animal in this world is human.
If I saw
"Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose" las,
I immediately had to think about Janis Joplin's "Me and Bobby McG"...
… Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin', don't mean nothin' hon' if it ain't free, no no
And, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know, feelin' good was good enough for me…
We kill this paradise called earth for money, power, and profit.
And the only hope this earth has is that we exterminate ourselves
if we go on like this.
Presumably, you do not know Udo Jürgens. An Austrian songwriter.
His song 5 Minuten vor 12 (There is no more time to waste) is already many years old, and unfortunately more relevant than ever.
Lyrics translated with google:
"And I saw a forest where they now build an airfield,
I saw rain like poison, where it felt, the leaves died
And I saw a fence where there used to be freedom
I saw gray concrete where recently the meadow lay.
And I saw a beach that was completely black with oil and tar,
and I saw a city in which man no longer counted.
But I also saw a valley that was full of flowering trees,
a lonely lake, like a mirror so bright and clear,
and I looked at the clock, 5 minutes to 12.
And I saw a woman who is almost overcome with loneliness,
and I also saw a child, they never had time for that
and I saw a man who promoted hope and peace,
and I saw how he died for it by a bullet,
but I also saw the friend who stood by me in difficult times,
I saw one who gave his hand to a helpless
and I looked at the clock 5 minutes to 12.
I saw hatred in the eyes, blindly angry faith,
saw the love freeze, saw the winners lose,
saw bombs and expressions, saw sliders earn,
Fault-finder chattered and fanatics killed.
But I also saw the fear that brings so many to insight,
someone said to me that the future is just beginning,
and I looked at the clock, 5 minutes to 12."
Wise words, as it stands we are effectively killing our future generations.
When I look at my little daughter (10 months old) and think about how much her childhood will be different from mine, then sometimes I get sad .....
she will know many things only from pictures, that were normal for us
