Guantanamo

[2004]
Testo e musica di Stephen R.Coffee
Lyrics and music by Stephen R.Coffee

http://polsong.gcal.ac.uk/songs/coffee.html

"If there's one thing that the fundamentalist Christians and fundamentalist Muslims agree on these days, it's that we are engaged in a religious war. On the assumption that it's a wise practice to 'know your enemy', I offer here a spare and uncomfortably familiar imagining of a Guantanamo detainee's encounter with Christian love. The deep cynicism, evidenced as much by the Appalachian styling as by the lyric, is my own, a luxury the prisoner probably cannot afford." -Stephen R. Coffee
