My interpretation ...( 2 months ago by BlakeNewland)
My interpretation of "Chocolate Jesus" is about a person who thinks themselves to be Christian but are more consumerist and materialist than religious: he is eating a chocolate bar shaped like Jesus! Of course, songs and poetry are full of metaphor, irony and sarcasm. It is then a possibility we are both wrong about the quotes we have posted, or have misquoted them!

The fact that millions are daily tortured Stifled, punished, silenced and oppressed Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance In keeping its humanity repressed And for once you must try not to shriek the facts Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts

LOL. UK controlled the area, and they along with the UN declred the Jewish state of Israel in 1948. The FIRST STATE in the location. Palestinians just lived there. Knowing they wont be able 2 control the whole area again, Palestinians started on hating and say "end Occupation" as a reason 4 war/violence. Any Muslim who lived IN Israel before 1948 is elgible to get an Israeli social security. They can visit over in Jerusalem anytime. They should stop pretending they're "fighting for freedom."
One of the main ...( 2 months ago by YanniChill)
One of the main issues is the propaganda war. An Israeli Medic with a child, supposedly running from bullets while everyone else is lying on the ground allegedly to protect themselves... If everyone is supposed to take cover isn't it stupid to stand up and run with a baby? Criticism for/against Israel has to be based on principles, not on the media/emotional level. If Israel is to continue to exist as an Apartheid (as it is currently) NOONE (Jews included) should support its existence.

Yanni, you are a puppet of the religious old world agenda in the Middle East. Your God wants peace, but your leaders don't, causing the suffering of all our people. Join US and let both sides live and prosper side by side in Peace and Mutual Harmony for the children and elders we both love.

Peace has never had anything to do with God or State. It has only ever been us. You are either a beast, or you are a man. And human beings do not kill.

There is nothing more human that unnecessary killing. It say if you kill you are a beast is a deep mistake seeing as even beasts do not kill each other like this. War especially is one of the main things that separate us from the animals. To forgive is intelligent but to murder is strictly human.

What keeps mankind alive?
The fact that millions are daily tortured
Stifled, punished, silenced and oppressed
Mankind can keep alive thanks to its brilliance
In keeping its humanity repressed
And for once you must try not to shriek the facts
Mankind is kept alive by bestial acts
The devil knows the bible like the back of his hand
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say about Mankind
There's nothing kind about man
