back to our scheduled essay, now in progress…..
Staying with todays theme…………”What is our chil’un thinking?”
I woke up this morning with this playing in my head:
We’re not too big
and we’re not too tough
but when we work together
we got the right stuff!
This was strange enough because I haven’t seen this program since last December, when I watched it with my grandson…..
and I thought about how I hope this little song stays with this generation of children….
that they’ll ‘get’ the lesson of working together…… getting along…..
Today my son called me. He said he’d been trying to reach me for two days. For one reason or another we kept missing each other…(have your machine call my machine…they can do lunch!)
He was calling to tell me about a video he’d seen by Flobots….
“Go to youtube & look up Flobots, Handlebars”
here’s what I found:
it starts out tamely enough:
I can ride my bike with no handlebars
No handlebars
No handlebarsLook at me, look at me
hands in the air like it’s good to be
ALIVE
but by the end of the video my eyes were welling up with tears….
And I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
One song does not a great band make…..
So I listened to a few more……
Stand up
We shall not be moved
Except By a child with no socks and shoes
If you’ve got more to give then you’ve got to prove
Put your hands up and I’ll copy you
Stand up We shall not be moved
Except by a woman dying from the loss of food
If you’ve got more to give then you’ve got to prove
Put your hands up and I’ll copy you
And this one just blew me away……
We are building up a new world.
Do not sit idly by.
Do not remain neutral.
Do not rely on this broadcast alone.
We are only as strong as our signal.
There is a war going on for your mind.
If you are thinking, you are winning.
Resistance is victory.
Defeat is impossible.
Your weapons are already in hand.
Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom.
Fight with tools.
Your fate, and that of everyone you know
Depends on it.
here’s a little flobots featurette, telling a bit about them:
IMHO, these flobot kids ‘got’ the message…& they’re working together to spread it far and wide.
you can learn more about them at flobots.com
The type of music, rhythm , metre & rhyme may have changed since my/our time….
But the message is the same….
