If it was not for the theft of interest on interest on interest, and the control of the monetary system by those that do not know God, then this world would be a VERY different place.

Mas tiempo para pensar, para crear, para cambiar, para amar.... para no hacer nada, para tomar mate, para reir, para jugar, para bailar, para cantar, para pintar, para amar.... mas tiempo para solidaridad, para reciprocidad, para intercambiar, para contruir juntos, para amar... es nuestra utopia que como dice Galeano es algo que nos hace caminar... el tiempo es elastico ja ja ja

"see, if you work hard you can acomplish anything." "Well, my old man worked hard, and all they did was give him more work." -Weekend at Bernie's-
Wake up! Why are we killing ourselves for those who have all the TIME to enjoy themselves at worker's expenses. Dont let them tell you that you'll be there too if you keep busting ass. We are not in their club.
"but if everyone doesn't get a share this time, well mentality must get left behind" we need more artists like this guy. good music but im struggling to find anything remotely similar thats modern
Just 2 say Once Again Mista LKJ's poetry Reaches the targets & i think that it's way uppon left or right.... He's about mankind's greed,vanity,socialclass, ina "WORD" Oppressions...MORE LKJ MORE POEMS MORE LOVE MORE CONSCIOUNESS!!!! BIG UP))))))
all parents need more time, to show there children, to love. care.share. and look at life with eyes wide open, as us older parents time goes by too quick. so live it to the max. live the life you love and love the life you live love too you all peace
Should be more of such musical poets. He just point out problems in society (of UK at that time) ... music avenue to get people to think. Reggae never aggresive in itself.
Capitalism has become exploitative and brutal.The world is not just going into an age of disaster it's in one.And capitalism will not and cannot get us out of it. Capitalism as it exists today is can only function indefinitely if we have have infinite resources which wedo not. The true evil of capitalism is that itis so bent on eating everything, that once it's eaten its share to the bones, it will bypass anything in it's way (morality, the law) to take more from others.And It can't be satisfied
Capitalism is what saves people in San Francisco from a 7.0 quake while without it, it kills 50k+ in Haiti. Technology and progress comes with a price. Socialism neglects that and that's why people who live under socialist regimes perish in rubble, hunger, and filth. Capitalism has never given so many a higher quality of life as it has today. Don't forget that.
Capitalism is a tool. Greed is not the same thing as capitalism and those who are evil can use any tool they want to carry out their desires. Socialism, on the other hand, has killed millions of people through starvation, for example, without any intent of someone to be evil.
we spend to much time doing busy work while we forget what really matters, family and your loved ones and yourself. life is short on earth and why spend most of your time working, rather enjoy your life, we all need more time to enjoy Gods great Earth
Socialism has never worked. In fact, for socialism to work, it would require that people like LKJ is not permitted to speak freely because it is against human nature to be restricted to seek out something better for ourselves and our families. Instead, we need to make sure that our ethics remain in check, something that LKJ speaks about as he often speaks about the power of intact families.. Capitalism, when ethics are affirmed, has given us more time for leisure and art than ever before.
Capitalism does require you to work, what you apparently call a struggle. But socialism only provides suffering and history has proven this. The irony for you is that capitalism has improved the living standards for all. Socialism has never achieved this, and it has been tried. Humans, though, require ethics because there will always be freeloaders no matter the economic system.
@JOSIPBROZ3000 Yeah, with Socialism you don't have to work or be responsible. Everything is free! We see it working well in America's inner-cities and Europe can hardly pay its bills to keep on the lights. Real nice.
@astralislux I don't know what YOU call "socialism". I happened to visit and live in a really socialist country, and even there you had to pay your bills !
Socialism is what make of it, it can't be imposed but it is the way every society evolves.
I hope socialism will prevail in the US soon. Americans are clever people, their leaders are just disconnected from their needs and lives. It takes a revolution to change things.
hey linton before we run out of time when are you coming to las fucken vegas,we runing out of time brother,before this country going to the shit hole we ain't going to have more time
We were my friend an me at the show of LKJ in April 2009 in Marmande, a little town in France! This man is great! He is really a dandy, a smart rebel, a poèt! I ve learned so much in an hour of this man than in 10 years of my life! Thank you Mister Linton! Really a good time!
This song is fantastic! I was reading this poem in LKJ's new book and thought I'd see if there was a spoken-work video... but this is just beautiful! Great tune, powerful message. We need more time to live.
