I Shall Die is an anti-war spoken word piece of music with lyrics from Conscientious Objector by Edna St. Vincent Millay, which can be found in her 1934 book called Wine from these grapes, and a modern version of the poem which can be found on Collin Steven's Youtube channel here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yy52M8XjfX0

I Shall Die

War drum is the second anti war protest song I have put together, and is in my opinion what feels like the most personal, as there is only one vocalist. This song with its limited instrumentation was influenced by Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan to create a more meaningful and expressive atmosphere. 
The majority of the lyrics are taken from a poem called 'What I Will' by Suheir Hammad, a strong pacifist. What I Will is Hammad’s own personal protest against the United States invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq along with supporting Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The poem openly states her refusal to be involved with the nation's shocking jingoism, and being part of a war machine.

Other lyrics incude lines from 'Conscientious Objector' by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

War Drum

Poverty is a worldwide issue, effecting many hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. The key date when poverty came about is said to be 1492, when the Europeans started there invasion on America, which then later lead to globalization (Diaz, 2008). This process of colonizing people, and land over the next 500 years, left poverty as a continuous issue, as it destroyed the natural economy. Poverty is something that I believe we will never be able to beat, nor overcome with the systems that we currently have in place. In the documentary The End of Poverty John Perkins states:
﻿
’24 thousands people die every single day from hunger and hunger related diseases. At least 24 thousand, and that doesn’t need to happen, we have plenty of resources, so that shouldn’t happen. It happens because of the system we’ve created. We can say without a doubt, that this system is an absolute failure. From the most rational, objective economic standpoint, it’s a failure. Less than 5% of the world’s population live in the United States, we are consuming over 25% of the world’s resources, and creating roughly 30% of its major pollution. That’s a failure.’  (Diaz, 2008)

While looking for material to use for the lyrics, I came across a poem written and performed by Fred Taban, called Poverty (Deezstudios 2010). I feel that the poem is very moving, as Taban speaks to poverty as if poverty is a person, holding civilians captive, who are pretty much begging to be freed. 

In verse three I then went further and added words from part of a poem by Ernest Jones I found called ‘The Song Of The Low’ from Brian Maidment’s book The Poorhouse Fugitives.

Oh Poverty

The song focuses on the famous River Thames, and with rapidly rising sea levels is now one of London's most feared natural flooding disasters sites. The lyrics are taken from the poems 'The River God' by Les Crowhurst and 'The Flood' by Robert Frost. Samples include a speech made by the queen in 1982 after the completion of the Thames barrier, that was said to avert any further threat of flooding. Samples at the end of the track are taken from the 2007 disaster movie 'Flood' by Tony Mitchell, and BBC documentary 'Disasters'.
