G) One Short Life

While it may not be clearly obvious, this song is basically about all the people who were killed or persecuted throughout history - even though they were often in the RIGHT.

I could compile a list of names, but if you look at MANY of the scientific discoveries and the history behind them, you will find that often the bearers of new (and correct) information were often banished, tormented or even killed.  Galileo is one who comes to mind.  I am sure you can think of others.

This can also apply to those who seek social advances, including ML King Jr, and of course Jesus Christ who spoke a message only of Love and Faith and was brutally executed for it.

I wish that all the 'ghosts' of these 'martyrs' could come and intervene whenever cruel repression is about to happen today or in the future.   I truly wish that ignorant brutes could be haunted forever by the spirits of all the fine people put here by God that they have wronged.

Then perhaps progress wouldn't be such a struggle for the human species.
