"We have fed you all for a thousand years,
And you hail us still unfed.
Though there's never a dollar of all your wealth,
But marks the workers' dead.
We have yielded our best for to give you rest,
And you lie on a crimson wool.
Well if blood be the price of all your wealth,
Good God! We have paid in full!"

Willi Carlisle - We Have Fed You All For A Thousand Years (2025)

Musical Interlude: Listening to Willi Carlisle while on my road trip this weekend, I was struck by this tune, which is almost gospel in sound if not content. It's a grand declaration of individuality and personal freedom.

"I Won't Be Afraid," performed live by Willi Carlisle.
