(2nd to 9th September 2012 Gregorian)
Through history the 'Royalty', in ignorance we all obeyed
They told us from God's name their power came, building monuments where we all prayed
And said the royal 'We' “depend on me, to save you from the hoards abroad”
In dependency we failed to see we were dying by Their cousins bloody sword
But as our numbers grew the royals knew, they had to find a better way
To keep control of every soul, and find a better God to whom we'd pray
'Cause as the years went by our people died, fighting in their family wars
But there were those that cried “we've all been lied to, they've stolen all the land and we're all poor”
But it doesn't have to be like
It doesn't have to be like that No More
No it doesn't have to be like
It doesn't have to be like that...
They saw the human seed was sowed with greed, and many of us could be bought
The aristocracy were proof you see, given all the land that they all sought
In return to be their military and Lord it on the 'serfs' below
Who'd be the fodder for those family wars, paying tax to work the land that the gentry 'owned'
To teach Their royal rules they founded schools, for the family trees of aristocracies
Which came to be, corporately, by royal charter, universities
And from the wide country to the cramped cities, the people flocked - the likes of you and me
Working to their knees in factories, or down a deep dark mine where it was hard to see
It didn't have to be like
It didn't have to be like that No More
No it didn't have to be like
It didn't have to be like that...No More!
Overtime the corporate crime was chartered in the form of banks
And from the Corporate Sole that charged our toll, the Aggregate was formed to swell their ranks
And so it came to be, 'society' and the system that we serve today
Where the life you're shown is what you own, and you're working for the banksters debts to pay
Keep working hard and play your cards, if you want to win the game
It's 'Monopoly' from the powers that be so they don't have to do the bloody same
It's a family game in all but name and the banker always seems to win
While it's austerity for you and me and you'd better beg Their priest to absolve your sins
But it doesn't have to be like
It doesn't have to be like that No More
No it doesn't have to be like
It doesn't have to be like that...No More!
So we were lost at sea to slavery and our parents never were to know
Gave us as assets; free, to the company, for a certificate of birth - receipt to show
And now They feed us 'N.E.W.S' to mould our views, dumbed by all the bloody mess
It's 'Never Ending Work & Servitude', 'Never Ending Worry, War & Stress'
Yeah we were born and raised to be Their slaves but we're learning how to see the truth
And I'm here to say “don't be that way”, take time to search and you will find the proof
Then you'll find the way to save your day and claim your right to liberty
Say NO!, be brave, with Love behave,
Realise that we are all born free
Free your body, physically
Free your mind and you will see
That YOU can set your spirit free 'cause
Because it doesn't have to be like
It doesn't have to be like that No More
No it doesn't have to be like
It doesn't have to be like that...
I said it doesn't have to be like
It doesn't have to be like that No More
No it doesn't have to be like, it doesn't have to be like
It doesn't have to be like that...
NO MORE!
NO MORE!
NO MORE!
NO MORE!

This one was written in three separate chunks while I was hanging out in the Olot area of Catalunya
It's a summary of how I see the system has developed over the years since the days when The Crown overtly ran everything under its 'Corporation Sole', through to the dominance of the 'Corporations Aggregate' (see the "Person" pages for descriptions & definitions) that we have today via the formation of the first "Chartered" institutions; the universities, and the East India Company and the like, and of course the Bank of England in the 1600's.
The lands of Great Britain and later all the 'territories' claimed in the name of the crown under the guise of the British Empire have been stolen by force from their indigenous inhabitants, who have either been wiped out or coerced through the 'legal person' (again, see the "Person" pages for info) into serving the corporate masters. But "it doesn't have to be like that no more".
Many of us now are waking up to what has been done via the to date undisputed and bogus claims of conquest (see 'The Land Scam' pages) and realising that we can take the power back peacefully and with it the freedom to live, share property and enjoy the liberty that has always been our inalienable right under natural law
New communities have been formed to do just that, such as one I set up for travelling creative people which I called the Troubadour Community Trust (TCT)
