Thank you

Yesterday I blogged about the Ubuntu Forums not being included on the “thriving community” section of this webpage.  I’m happy to report it has been added :)

A thriving community

 

I would like to thank everyone in the ubuntu world for the support shown to get it added.   I feel very privileged to be apart of such a strong active community.  I have said it before, but community is everything.  When we work together we can achieve so much.

Thank you.

Superman’s Song

An extract of this song, quite correct:

Tarzan wasn’t a ladies’ man
He’d just come along and scoop ‘em up under his arm
Like that, quick as a cat in the jungle
But Clark Kent, there was a real gent
He would not be caught sittin’ alone in no
Junglescape, dumb as an ape doing nothing

The Years Gone Bye by s.fox

The Years Gone Bye

Think on the years gone bye
Feelings of happiness and joy
The lovers you’ve had in time
But now just lives destroyed

Sit in your quiet place
Cast back to days before
There you will find the reason
Now you will find love no more

Will you dare to love again
I can not say my friend
Will you risk it one more time
That unknown, but certain end

The Uprising

The Uprising

I wonder what you felt inside
As they dragged you through foreign streets
The townsfolk spat venom at you
As churchmen took their seats
And did you think of your Motherland
As you stood there center stage
Or did you feel suppression, Dear Sir,
Like an animal in a cage?

I wonder what you felt inside
As they hung you by your throat
Through tear-welled eyes you looked out
As the crowd began to gloat.
And when they cut you down
So that your body slammed the ground
Did you pray to God for strength, Dear Sir,
To fight another round?

I wonder what you felt inside
When you burned with ropes pulled tight
Did you see the glee upon their faces
As they watched you lose the fight?
And when every inch of your body cried out
With the burning, searing pain,
Did it ever cross your mind, Dear Sir,
“Was it all in vain”?

I wonder what you felt inside
When you met the butcher’s blade
Did you see their blank expressions
As they watched your life-force fade?
Or did your soul break free from the pain and the hurt
To a pine covered glen
And will you ever know, Dear Sir,
What a hero you became?
