A Very Angry Man

Jeremiah weighed himself two days ago. It's official - he has lost 5kg over 5 weeks. But he is not happy, for the weight loss is the result of a diet that consisted largely of plain pasta/bread over the past few weeks. The numerous nights of awakening abruptly in the middle of night, of sleep interrupted by those incessant pangs of hunger, have taken their toll too. But Jeremiah knows that he must persist, for that is the only way to build up the F4B2. Hopefully, the beckoning of freedom, the promise of a future free of the yoke of tyranny, the melody of liberty will drown the cries of a growling stomach clamouring for calories. Yes, Jeremiah is hopeful, but he is also very angry. Do you know why? If not, listen (read) carefully.


Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums,
There is a life about to start.
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade, is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
