A Revolution of Values (ft. Dr Martin Luther King Jr)

from We Must Speak (EP) by Fold

/

about

As Martin Luther King, Jr states so eloquently 'I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values.' This was as valid 4 decades ago as it is today – and not just for the USA.

lyrics

These are revolutionary times. All over the globe men are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression, and out of the wounds of a frail world new systems of justice and equality are being born.

I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of a world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society.

Every nation must now develop an overriding loyalty to mankind as a whole in order to preserve the best in their individual societies. This call for a worldwide fellowship that lifts neighbourly concern beyond one's race, tribe, class and nation is in reality a call for an all-embracing and unconditional love for all mankind.

We still have a choice today: non-violent coexistence or violent co-annihilation. The choice is ours and though we may prefer it otherwise we must choose in this crucial moment of human history.

If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality and strength without sight.
