Set Free  by Glenny G ( August 14th 2025 )
A reflective journey exploring a vast length of time that has passed. I thought I would release this one today as food for thought and comments. Cheers from Glenny G

Set Free (Original)

On a planet resembling Earth, in a Galaxy far, far away 
There were creatures resembling humans of two pigmentations: one red and one blue 
And the red ones instructed the blue ones that there is one word that THEY must never say. 
And they will be ostracized, subject to violence or otherwise harmed if they do. 

You see, one or two centuries prior, the blue ones held red ones enslaved 
And there was a word that the Blue ones would use to refer to the red ones possessed
And though they had long since been freed, in lieu of the justice they craved 
They insisted the blue ones should never again breathe that word, not even in jest

And the blues ones at first were quite gladly compliant, at first they completely concurred
But the red ones adopted this word as a term of endearment, not a hideous curse!  
And now and again some poor Blue would get loose with its tongue and then out popped that word! 
And red ones who heard it were given free license to beat the blue or something worse! 

Even the most rich and powerful Blue ones if ever that word did they say
Were forced to make public apologies, tearfully beg for forgiveness, repentant 
that’s just the trouble with pendulums swinging too wide can the pendulums sway 
What started as simply a politic gesture was simmering now as resentment 

Words are just noises you make to express an idea you may have at the time
Our primitive ancestors, warning of predators, made noises just to alert you 
Always remember the words that are used in that world famous nursery rhyme:
Sticks and Stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you 

Most Blues were fine with not saying the word, its insulting so why not refrain 
And all of that’s true but it’s rather short sighted and frankly it misses the point  
The point is that blue ones were forced to comply or else suffer the punishment’s pain 
And when rules don’t apply to both red and blue equally, blue noses get out of joint 

So small bands of blues started saying the word in their home and amongst other blues 
And the building resentment would over time lead to a war pitting race against race 
Only slaves are subjected to punishment over expressing unpopular views 
Free people use any words that they want to:  a warning from deep outer space!

The Word You Dare Not Say

Africa - Colors In The Sky

Africa is one of Earth's continents. Its area of ​​30.2 million km² corresponds to approximately 20% of the planet's total land area, and it has a population of approximately 1.4 billion people (2022). This makes it the second-largest continent after Asia, both in terms of area and population. Almost all African states are members of the United Nations and the African Union. The continent is predominantly rural and characterized by high birth rates, which are declining due to modernization. Due to the sharp increase in urbanization since around 1950, more and more Africans live in urban areas. Some African cities are among the world's largest metropolitan areas, including Cairo, Lagos, Kinshasa, Johannesburg, Luanda, and Alexandria.

According to the "Out of Africa Theory," Africa is considered the "cradle of humanity," where the development into anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) took place through hominization. One of humanity's earliest advanced civilizations developed in ancient Egypt. Over the millennia, various "great empires" emerged on the continent, such as the Abyssinian Empire. The slave trade with the African empires from the 16th century onwards and the subsequent colonization by European states ("Scramble for Africa") led to a somewhat sketchy territorial division. This was adopted by many newly formed African states during the decolonization process from the mid-20th century onwards. The heterogeneous peoples of Africa have traditionally had different settlement areas, which contributes to various conflicts and wars over territorial claims, raw materials, and power.

While most African countries were long governed by autocracy, democratic movements became more common from the late 20th century onward, with Africa performing the worst since democracy measurements began. Poverty, famine, child mortality, and health problems have been significantly reduced in recent decades through advances in education, economics, medicine, and infrastructure. The importance of African countries in the global economy in terms of GDP remains low, with a few exceptions such as South Africa, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria, Angola, and Morocco. However, several African countries have been among the world's fastest-growing economies since the beginning of the 21st century. The continent's raw materials and arable land are of increasing importance to African countries, as well as to the industrialized and emerging economies that trade with them.

Africa's geography and nature are diverse, with a large number of protected national parks. Africa's UNESCO World Heritage sites are extensive.

Playing with ideas.. mostly failing :)
I love listening to music, from the baroque era(love Bach, Vivaldi) and some traditional old music all the way to the music nowadays.

It's not how big the artist is, I'm listening to the song with no other expectations that finding a good musical story behind the music. 
Not a fan of progress and being different for the sake of it. 
I like when people try to revive and build on old ideas. I think it sometimes carries much bigger risks than trying new things and can go to interesting places..

Not a good instrument player,  but like to tinker with it..

"Those who can, do; those who can't, use computers." << me.

All the music here is generated from Musescore, which I use to write down the ideas while I experiment on guitar and/or piano.

If interested to collaborate, send me a message..
Thanks for listening!
