I just wanted to end the year and humanities class with a song
written by Tracy Chapman called Rape of the world

Mother of us all
place of our birth
how can we stand aside
and watch the rape of the world
this the beginning of the end
this is the most heinous of crimes
this is the deadliest of sins
the greatest violation of all time
mother of us all
place of our birth
we are all witness
to the rape of the world
you've seen her stripped mined
you've heard of bombs exploded underground
you know the sun shines hotter than ever before
mother of us all
place of our birth
we are al witness
to the rape of the world
some claim to have crowned her a queen
with cities of concrete and steel
but there is no glory no honor in what results from
the rape of the world
mother of us all
place of our birth
she has been clear-cut she has been dumped on
she has been piosned and beaten up
and we have been witness
to the rape of the world
mother of us all place of our birth
how can we stande aside and watch
the rape of the world
if youlook you will see it with your own eyes
if you listen you can hearher cries
if you care you will stand and testify
and stop the rape of the world
stop the rape of the world
mother of us all
mother of us all
mother of us all
