Yo brothers and sisters this joint?s about the system, with a little help from the Jackson 5.

Its called

ABC

Yo check it out.

it aint so far to reach that promised land
we building microchips with silicon sand
splitting atoms too tho that should be banned
can fly to the sun and get yo hide tanned

we gots food and shelter for everybody
we gots medicines too to cure your body
we already at that moment of mucho plenty
'then tell me why is my plate empty?'

(A B C, Its easy as
1 2 3, as simple as
Do Re Mi, A B C, 1 2 3)

capitalist $uckers they be hording the wealth
they be stealing from the workers by using stealth
five hundred of them got the worlds wealth
six billion of us got economic ill health

'so tell me communist what we gonna do'
'you wanna take us to Xanadu ?'
'but humanity is full of all kind of evil'
'killing in the shadow of my church steeple'

(A B C, Its easy as
1 2 3, as simple as
Do Re Mi, A B C, 1 2 3)

capitalist $uckers want you to believe
the problem is you, 'its a mental disease'
but it aint about no evil human nature
didnt Jesus say we wuz all God's creatures?

we all facing each other like we are enemies
fighting for a little cash, it don't grow on trees
our labor is worth much more than these
peanuts we get to feed our families
the bosses they be stealing naturally
as if its a God given right to live off me

(A B C, Its easy as
1 2 3, as simple as
Do Re Mi, A B C, 1 2 3)

with armies and police and courts of law
they be propping up a system that is full of flaws
if you don't believe me just look at any prison
they be filled up with many working class persons

you never gonna find no billionaire
sitting in jail on his derrier
coz stealing from the poor is considered fair
the rich write the laws and sip Perrier

(A B C, Its easy as
1 2 3, as simple as
Do Re Mi, A B C, 1 2 3)

they use race, religion, gender and nation
divide and rule and rob yo dad's pension
Sinhala or Tamil it really shouldn?t matter
Racism?s got our country in tatters

The only ones who benefit are the local thieves
Ranil and Mahinda they all the same to me
Selling us as cheap labor to IMF and WB
Pocketing the cash from war and misery

Marx may be old, but he had it right
Workers of all lands must unite and fight

(A B C, Its easy as
1 2 3, as simple as
Do Re Mi, A B C, 1 2 3)

TC, thanks machang, actually the inspiration was our very own Naleen and also Fairplay's kids. Wanted to see how we can update and communicate important ideas without sounding stuffy and didactic. I'm really a rock n roller, I like loud thrashing guitars, but rap is proving to be a pretty useful medium. When I head out to Brooklyn I come back with a bag or two of inspiration. ;)

Lo ada ninde me ra yame
sanda ras vathure kimi denne
Ran tharu babale nil akase
Lassana mal vage

Kirile gase gedi diya matha vatilla
Pahalata basa yai diya alle
Na mal pipila nalavey sulange
Suwanda ha ma dasathe
Sobana me nidiye, sobana me nidiye
Sanda ras pathirenne

Al kethekin ena dariyakage handa
Dan dan ma hada nalawanne
Maha ra hindai ayage gi handa
Dasathama pathirenne
Kavuruda alhene, kavurudu alhene
Gi handa pathuranna

keep it going people; sorry if i -removed-ed up the beautiful song

Vim and all the brothers and sisters of kindness,

Kindness is more important than wisdom,
and the recognition
of this
is the beginning
of wisdom

(Isaac Rubin)

I enjoy you creation mate. Keep it up my friend and have a good day.

Muthu depotak thabala
Kan aga run thoduda lelawala
sarawi kumariye lese

The rest I cannot remember mate, Hope you like that :-)

I notice this thread is moving further and further away from the Top! Wassup guys?

Dr. Akai, I like the right side ha ha ha

Mee amba vanaye gee handa pathura kawada amathanney
Lassan muhunata eswaha dennada oya heti hinahenney

Mihibata devangana evidina thaleta ohomada evidinney
Lanil Paatata Dilisena Hindada esdeka nalawanney

-----------------------------------------------------------

Now the boring stuff: Marxism and its relevance today.

Whether Marxism is relevant for today or not is not the question. In the late 20th Century, when the West is mentioned, Marxism was often used as a weapon aginst it. Those guys (and the girls) did not realise that this Marxism was a product of this same West. Reasons:

1. Marxism originated in the West.
2. Karl Marx who was born in Germany and and lived in Capitalist London, envisaged his theories based on the happenings in the newly industrialised world, namely Western Europe at that time.
3. Marx predicted that the revolution will take place in the Capitalist world, because of the existing conditions (bourgeoisie exploiting proletariat bla bla bla)
4. The revolution happened in an unexpected quarter, something Marx himslef would have disapproved (read his early wrtings against Russia).
5. Capitalism did not 'whither away.' It might one day but not as Marx envisioned.
6. The 'Communist' state never existed as Marx would have liked, a State without a leader and where 'each gets according his needs.'
7. 'The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles.' Partially true.
8. Bla bla bla ..... yawwwwwwwwwn ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

However, for the oppressed proletariat, Marxisn deems them as the 'chosen people.' They have nothing to lose but their chains so ...

'WORKERS OF THE WORLD UNITE.'
