nature of man - wild geese -, with an oration by Dr. Cornel West Above the trees I can hear them calling, blocking the sun light on their way here on the ground I was left to wonder, here on the ground I could hear them say it’s in the nature of man to consider the ideals the golden rules in books high up the shelf it’s in the nature of man to discover the roadmaps the spiritual signposts to love within ourselves patches of blue which reveal the oceans places in space we may never go night after night stars will shine and gather, night after night there’s so much to know it’s the nature of man to strive for moral justice, sharing the wealth and avoidable destruction. it’s the nature of man to give workers a voice, union solidarity and self determination. “That’s what a deep democratic flowering grounded in a spiritual moral renaissance that embraces every corner of the globe so that empires are viewed as obstacles to be pushed away to unleash democratic energy so that those Sly Stone called “Everyday People” in every nation and those James Cleveland called “Ordinary People” in every country can straighten their backs up and stiff their voices in the anthem of black people and say yes we will shape the destiny of our nations and the destiny of the planet so that we’ll have assets for what is required to flower and florish as the precious persons that we are”... Down on the earth there’s an open window, rivers of life that reflect and glow columns of trees that conceal the mountains, valleys and rivers that retract and flow it’s in the nature of man to persevere and persist towards a moral awakening abolishment of poverty it’s in the nature of man to seek perennial truths compassion and love a sustainable reality it’s in the nature of man to consider the ideals the golden rules in books high up the shelf it’s in the nature of man to discover the roadmaps the spiritual signposts to love within ourselves “Piety is the acknowledgement of the sources of good in your life so that you remember The Delfonics say “Can You Remember” I remember those who came before I remember my grandmama, I remember my grandfather, I remember my father, I remember my mother they put something inside of me... I might turn on some Donnie Hathaway I might turn on a little Aretha Franklin I might turn on some John Coltrane I might turn on some Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan why because they allow me to remember and to revere and to have a resilience and a resistance against the evil so I’m never surprised by evil I’m never thoroughly paralyzed by despair”. - Nature of Man - words &music by M.Peragine - with an “oration by Dr. Cornel West -” from the 4 corners ep record produced by eastern rain, Hamburg, 2021 https://easternrain.bandcamp.com/track/nature-of-man-remix
