    Lyrics:
    Margareth Thatcher on TV
    Shocked by the deaths that took place in Beijing
    It seems strange that she should be offended
    The same orders are given by her
    I've said this before now
    You said I was childish and you'll say it now
    Remember what I told you
    If they hated me they will hate you
    England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
    It's the home of police who kill black boys on mopeds
    And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
    I don't want him to be aware that there's
    Any such thing as grieving
    Young mother down at Smithfield
    Five a.m., looking for food for her kids
    In her arms she holds three cold babies
    And the first word that they learned was please
    These are dangerous days
    To say what you feel is to dig your own grave
    Remember what I told you
    If you were of the world they would love you
    England's not the mythical land of Madame George and roses
    It's the home of police who kill blacks boys on mopeds
    And I love my boy and that's why I'm leaving
    I don't want him to be aware that there's
    Any such thing as grieving

    From A Black Man in America:
    When she died, maybe you Irish may have not known, so many of us Black people were deeply hurt, we mourned. We saw her on television first , we saw her in her glorious power on late night shows, and on music channels, this clear voice like water and crystal. We saw a warrior of a people who have fought centuries for dignity and a proud place in the world. A warrior Queen, only made mad by the jackals against justice.
    Now, I am so proud that members of the Irish government can clearly call out an extermination of a people, no matter whether they are of a different faith or a half hue skin different from you. She is a shining example of your great people, from those small islands. She and Ireland continue to prove that it isn’t about the hectares you stand upon, but the principle you stand upon that make you important.

      We find it disturbing that right now it is acceptable to kill all those people by people forgetting they are killing just that people. We use to many labels made to divide and belittle people and forget the endless similarities and sameness we truly are. It is only when we were children we would all play and have the same habits and unite until we grow and the labels start to divide us.
