Sinéad O'Connor WAR

Sinéad O'Connor War


Until the philosophy,
Which holds one race superior
And another inferior,
Is finally and permanently
Discredited and abandoned,
Everywhere is war.

Until there is no longer first class
Or second class citizens of any nation.
Until the color of a man's skin,
Is of no more significance then
The color of his eyes,
I've got to say "war".

That until the basic human rights,
Are equally guaranteed to all,
Without regard to race,
I'll say "war"

Until that day the dream of lasting peace,
World-citizenship and the rule of
International morality will remain
Just a fleeting illusion to be pursued,
But never obtained.
And everywhere is war.

Until the ignoble and unhappy regime
Which holds all of us through,
Child-abuse, yeah, child-abuse yeah,
Sub-human bondage has been toppled,
Utterly destroyed,
Everywhere is war.

War in the east,
War in the west,
War up north,
War down south,
There is war,
And the rumors of war.

Until that day,
There is no continent,
Which will know peace.

Children, children.

Fight!

Strangers

Hello! After some time without using the blog, I hope this time you enjoy the video Strangers. We will work on it during our lessons this week. I hope you think and reflect about it.

Two or three things to say

First thing: the anonymaty in the internet is a myth or it is not that difficult to find out the authors of the messages.
Second thing:I am very happy because at least two of your commentaries are in English
Well done!!! In any case, you could have explained better the reason of your opinions.
Finally, I din´t know the class of the forth year (4ºA)had chosen a student representative to express the opinions of the whole class. I hope next time these opinions are written in English.
This blog is not a place to ofend anyone but a place where you can contribute with your suggestions, videos, documentaries...to enjoy and improve our study of English. It is also a first step to start including the new tecnologies in our classroom but using this blog is a compulsory step before starting any further activity.So I will be waiting for your suggestions (in English).
