Save Me....
Save Me....

Trust is the word, that comes to my mind
When I think of you
You've been by my side
Through all these darkest days of my life

I'm writing this song for you
I want to express my gratitude
For all of your time
And especially to your wife
Cause you're a happily married man

Consideration
You're a rare example 
You define what is a friend

How many times have I cried
And you've listened to me
More than any person ever did in my life
And I sometimes wonder why

Oh my friend, I love you
Oh my friend, there's only you
To walk me through these hard times

Your eyes, they sparkle and shine
My pain goes away with your humanity

So I just want to let you know
That song I wrote about suicide
Will just stay a song

You'll never really how you saved me from the dark
Each time you answered my call
Yeah, I took a chance, I trusted you, and wow
what a friend you've become
I hope some day I'll be there for you

m m m ha
m m m  ha ha ha
m ha ha ha
ha ha ha oh ooh
oh o oh o hoo oo hoo ohoo (x 6)

You saved me from the dark
You saved me from dark
Oh yeah hah hah
Oh my friend oh my friend
Hold my hand until the end

Save me
Save me

You Save Me

Synopsis

Following unprecedented worldwide growth in human conflict, an emergency plenary session of the United Nations was convened late in 2023, tasked with finding new approaches to defuse global tension and ease conciliation. Recognising the abject failure of extant UN jurisdictions and powers, and in a radical restructuring of the international legal and security framework, that session established a new UN institution to sit alongside the International Court of Criminal Justice. The International Court of Moral Justice was formally incorporated into the UN Constitution on 1 January 2024.

The foundations of this infant organisation and those of the UN itself were shaken when it was revealed that the inaugural case to be heard by the ICMJ was to be a private prosecution brought by greed itself against the defendant, mankind’s innate sense of humanity.

In papers lodged with the court, the protagonist, Lord Mammon has asserted that the fundamental basis for human misery, the creation of discontent, thence envy and hence conflict, is to be found exclusively in false moral goodness and self-righteousness borne of a misplaced sense of benevolence. The human race survived and thrived, he states, not by moving at the pace of the slowest, or sharing resources with the weakest, but by taking and keeping, for the self alone, much more than is needed for basic subsistence, this being the singular route to strength, individual contentment and thus tolerance of others.

In reply, a broken and demoralised Lady Humanity has been compelled to present her own defence after failing to secure funding for a legal team to counter the advocates ranged in front of Lord Mammon. The case for the defence rests solely on the premise that good comes from within and cannot be created from nothing. So whilst she may try to bolster the moral cause in her work, she increasingly finds that the human souls she sees have no humanity in them whatsoever for her to strengthen, nothing to work with and as such, concedes that she has failed, but denounces the notion that it was for want of trying. Devoid of resources, supporters and allies of any kind she single handedly has held the fort against the self-perpetuating, self-reinforcing massed ranks of Mammon.

The Lord Chief Justice of the ICMJ along with his bench of associate judiciary adjourn proceedings to consider their findings and in the final act, return to deliver their verdict.

The Trial. A Pico-Operetta for our Times.

Its FRIDAY!!  Here is a little number thats unusually uplifting for me :-) Thank you for all of your wonderful plays shares and playlists too!!

Mercy by NayJ

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I love you but I gotta stay true
My moral's got me on my knees
I'm begging please
Stop playing games

I don't know what this is but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do but you do it well
I'm under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said release me

Now you think that I
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand that I need a man
Who can take my hand, yes I do

I don't know what this is but you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do but you do it well
I'm under your spell

You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
I said you better release me

I'm begging you for mercy
Just why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
You got me begging, you got me begging
You got me begging

Mercy, why won't you release me?
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?
You got me begging you for mercy

I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
I'm begging you for mercy
Why won't you release me?

You got me begging you for mercy
You got me begging down on my knees
I said you got me begging, begging you for mercy
You got me begging
