on tuesday night I gave the order
for british forces
to take part in military action against iraq
because we stand on st georges hill because we are free men never to bow to the lords because we plough and rake this soil to grow because we steal the water from the clouds and crowns from the kings on this morning we wake the weeds are high the common ground broken stay out of the shadow because even though they break our tools because they fear for their private property we look to each other as equals in the creation because the priests still distill their blood principles into the people nurse up ignorance and suffering as if it’s their right because they provide cover for masters of war
my fellow citizens at this hour
american coalition forces are in the early stages
of military operations
your saviour might be a power within you to deliver you from the bondage within no miracles no heaven no original sin the trees on the hill cover our souls those who break our common treasury lording it over us drawing lines on maps to show laws were always that way because they come with violent hatred swords to drive us from the land we call for universal education schools for us to learn not with magic because to break ignorance is to create knowledge abolish the standing armies learn of other nations stop foreign wars
with god on our side
to disarm iraq and to free its people
to defend the world from grave danger
weapons of mass destruction were never found
