‘Never Forgotten’
Mucking around with semi-protest song words on the guitar I suddenly realized I was playing to my ‘Rainbows End’ melody. Basically, I’d plagiarized myself. I’ve never done that before. Back to the drawing board.
ENGLAND, OH ENGLAND
At my door they try selling me their religion
Online they want my money to sell me fame
On the street, the Far Right are dishing out their flyers
I just smile; tell them I don’t play their racist game
England, oh England take a good look in the mirror
You’ll see you’re not a thieving Empire anymore
England, oh England you can’t turn the clock back
And rescue the glory of what never was before
Black or white we’re all of just the one race
Give us all an honest chance and lend a hand
Better that than bigotry and discrimination
You’ve lost the plot forever, my England
Here’s the YouTube version – all the songs – off the new album, ‘Devil’s Kiss’. Hope you enjoy;

Sadly it isn’t only England. I still hold the desperate hope that this is the last gasp of the White hegemony and sanity will return.

It’s happening everywhere, Lord Zoolon. If you could write about it, means you have your heart in the right place. There is beautiful eloquence in your verse , it speaks a universal plea , sending an urgent message to all , if they care to heed.
Bravo, George!

Thanks for that. I can’t understand how in world where we should be doing the right stuff so many people turn on others of different colour/heritage. It is such an ugly way to be when the should be getting anger out of their system fighting tyrants etc.. What we are is no business of anyone else. Thanks again ~ Zoolon aka George

Agree, we are all human. Animals Can treat other species like family yet humans can’t seem to treat our own species with respect, compassion and empathy.
