Ghana's Shocking Protest Rights Crackdown Unveiled

This piece serves as a reminder of those who, symbolized here by children as innocent and inexperienced individuals, dance for a group of foolish monkeys—monkeys that play music for them. The intriguing part is that these monkeys are not acting on their own, but are being orchestrated and manipulated by others behind the scenes.

A raw, blues-driven protest anthem exposing political deception and the unraveling of blind loyalty. “MAGA Minds Are Cracking” blends gritty storytelling with soulful truth, capturing the moment when belief turns to reckoning.

Opening MAGA Minds

A modern lament told by a father’s voice—from porch light to protest chant. Sparse, human, and unflinching, “Bitter Harvest” moves from private grief to public resolve, asking what we’ll do when the headlines fade.

Bitter Harvest

“Hunger for Profit” is a Scottish folk-rock protest anthem written by Derek Gault under AusticZone. Blending raw vocals, bodhrán, fiddle, and slow-march rhythm, it confronts the brutal machinery that turns war and suffering into profit.

This song tells four connected truths about our world:

1. **War as an Industry** – It exposes how the powerful build wealth through destruction, feeding off conflict while ordinary people pay the price. The battlefield becomes a balance sheet, and lives become statistics.

2. **Greed and Corruption** – It condemns those who manipulate nations for personal gain — CEOs, politicians, and warmongers who call cruelty “business.” The lyrics shine a harsh light on the hunger for dominance that drives exploitation.

3. **The Human Cost** – Behind every headline and speech are families, workers, and dreamers left to starve, suffer, and mourn. The song gives voice to those who bear the weight of others’ greed — the ones history too often forgets.

4. **Rebellion and Rebirth** – Out of ashes and exhaustion comes defiance. The final verses transform despair into resolve — a belief that people can rise again, reclaiming the world from those who profit from pain.

This isn’t just an anti-war song — it’s a cry for humanity, solidarity, and truth. A soundscape of resistance that echoes across borders and generations.

Hunger for Profit

CYBER CHORD writes songs the way a porch light holds a night: small, steady, and impossible to ignore. I work with AI as a true co-writer, then carve the lyric by hand and shape the track in Suno. The sound leans bare and human—country roots in the soil, a little rock grain in the teeth, and a faith-lit lift that chooses hope without preaching.

These are ordinary-room hymns: rings hidden in cotton, receipt-tape strings, a dress behind rain glass, a sink that cools while you find the words. Silence is an instrument here; sometimes there’s a full bar where the house gets to breathe. If a line can’t survive a campfire and a cracked mug, it doesn’t make the song.

If you’re new, start with the heartbreakers. They don’t shout. They stay. I believe in the holiness of the everyday, and in the quiet bravery of saying the thing before “later” takes it away.

No paid promo, no playlist buys, no cover-art pitches, no dance offers, no cold DMs. If it’s a pitch, the porch light’s off. If you’re a real listener, come in soft: pick one song, leave a genuine note (lyric or timestamp welcome), and hand it to one friend. That’s how this fire stays lit.

May your road stay open, your coffee stay warm, and your day be peaceful.
