first Minivan Radio test transmission on Aug 18, 2004,
1630-1730 UTC on 11525 kHz from an undisclosed
transmitter site ?in Eastern Europe?.  A sound clip
where one can hear this poem is up on this week´s
World of Radio broadcast for instance at

The walk for Freedom 
A poem by Ismail 

We respect them, for they are superior 
That?s what they tell me 
They humiliate us, for we are weak 
Maybe that?s good for the country 

We entrust them with our wealth 
They spend it on our behalf 
We cloth them with our wealth 
And pray for their generosity 

We honor them with pride 
And hope for their smile 
They strip us of our pride 
And leave us to die 

They cast the ballots on our behalf 
They teach us what is right 
They buy our rights and sell our souls 
For they know what is best for us 

For years and years they oppressed 
Immorality being the tradition it seems 
The books be closed he suggests 
Let your hands raise he said 

Twenty-four gentlemen they stood 
Read the books they possessed 
Our rights we demand, they said 
And started the walk for freedom
