Its the playing of great aires by Liam
That takes me into the remembering then
The time of great beauty of the music
That came from the day to day living
of the people and the story their story
we have lost so much with the passing
into this drab mundane world of now
listen to him play those pipes now
imagine the story behind each note

Christy Moore Victor Jara
From the clan of singers one was murdered in 1973 in Chile
The other detained at a Welsh Ferry Crossing in 2004 the
difference is that while Christy lives he speaks of Victor
While I have breath I will speak the sweet name of
FREEDOM
While I am bounded by a barbed wire fence I will call
on in dream time the innocence of my own soul voice
be it a past life death suffered at the hands of the church
or the future death suffered at the hands of the greedy
FREEDOM
Yesterday I recalled the horror of a rape long forgotten
Every women must know what I mean by these words
I want a sword of gleaming steel to hang on the wall
Engraved with the a scripture from the holy bible book
FREEDOM
On a distant shore in Scotland a band in regalia marches
Splendidly across the sand playing their bagpipes too
Abide with me was the aire they played .you tube it
Abide with me fast falls the eventide the darkness ....
FREEDOM
I want my death to be as splendid as my life has been
I want to piped into the wee small church up the road
I want to be sung into heaven by a choir of angels
I do not want to suffer anymore the pains of being
FREEDOM
Call me by any name only call me from your heart
Call me by the name of love without indifference now
Know that I lived long well and with a great courage
despite the ones who spoke evil against my own name
FREEDOM
Write that on a stone of pink marble FREEDOM
WHO LOVED THIS EARTH AND EVERYONE
Every single soul she met except the ones whose
heart were dishonest and untrue them she pitied
OH FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM I SING
Each note of your being all two of them

Rape
Rape taking without permission another's sacred ness
Not with violence but with cunning and deceit
slimy oh my God how did I forget it back then
All of eighteen and a virgin for sure that is if
a girl who was sexually assaulted by her father
can ever go back I think not to that state of grace
