All Captain Alexander "Phoenix" Medjinn wanted to do was keep a low profile as the skipper of the merchant warship Blood Sky. Traveling in the company of his family and friends, he crisscrossed the post-Vapor Incursion world, fighting off pirates and helping those in need. That changed when he and his crew rescued a contingent of New American politicians from a terrorist known as the Patriot Knight. Instead of celebration and praise, Phoenix was met with threats and false accusations. After fleeing New America and fending off assassins, Captain Phoenix leads Blood Sky back to the Atlantic Ocean, only to discover a warrant is out for his arrest. Every nation across the world, including the neutral Shangri-La, has received the message: Captain Phoenix is to be detained and sent back to New America by any means necessary. The world's oceans suddenly become smaller as every pirate, bounty hunter, civilian, and soldier chases after Blood Sky. This leaves Captain Phoenix with only one choice, which could have disastrous consequences for him and his crew.

The canvas of human history is richly colored by the songs of freedom. These melodies, emanating from the deepest wells of human struggle, are not mere musical notes strung together; they are profound expressions of the human spirit in its relentless quest for liberation. Freedom songs, transcending time and borders, have been instrumental in galvanizing movements, nurturing hope, and voicing dissent. However, their role and impact, while significant, invite a critical and multifaceted evaluation.At the heart of freedom songs lies their unifying power. In the throes of the American Civil Rights Movement, songs like "We Shall Overcome" did not just echo in marches and sit-ins; they resonated with the collective aspiration for equality and justice. Similarly, "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" became a rallying cry against apartheid in South Africa. These songs united diverse individuals under a common cause, serving as a beacon of solidarity.Yet, the question arises: Do these songs merely reflect the zeitgeist of movements, or do they actively shape them? Critics argue that the impact of such songs is often romanticized. While they undeniably create a sense of camaraderie, their direct influence on political outcomes is harder to gauge. Historical scrutiny reveals that the success of liberation movements owes more to strategic planning and tangible actions than to lyrical inspiration.Moreover, the interpretation of freedom songs can be complex and contentious. For instance, the same song may be perceived differently across various cultures and political spectrums. In the context of movements like The Great Reset, this complexity becomes even more pronounced. Here, songs and artistic expressions navigate a landscape where ideas of freedom intersect with global economic and social restructuring. The critical lens through which we view these songs must recognize the nuances in their interpretation and their potential co-option by differing ideologies.Statistics and stories from around the world demonstrate that freedom songs often emerge in times of oppression as voices of the unheard. Yet, their post-liberation life can be paradoxical. Some songs transition into national anthems or cultural staples, losing their revolutionary edge and becoming part of the status quo they once challenged.The essence of freedom songs lies in their ability to encapsulate the struggles, hopes, and dreams of those yearning for liberation. These songs, often birthed in the depths of hardship and resistance, carry with them the power to unite, inspire, and galvanize movements. They are not just melodies; they are the voices of the oppressed, the anthems of movements, and the heralds of change.Consider, for instance, the song "Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika" "God Bless Africa", which became synonymous with the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. The song's powerful lyrics, penned by Enoch Sontonga in 1897, are a prayer for God's blessing on the land and its people. The full text of the song, in its original Xhosa version, is as follows: Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrikaMaluphakanyisw' uphondo lwayo, Yizwa imithandazo yethu, Nkosi sikelela, thina lusapho lwayo.God Bless AfricaRaise high its glory, Hear our prayersGod bless us, your children.>As we explore these songs in the following chapters, we do so with an appreciation of their rich historical and cultural contexts, and with a critical awareness of their multifaceted roles in the ongoing struggles for freedom and justice worldwide.

الأمثال الشعبية وروافدها هي تعبير عفوي، وبحر لا ينضب من المواقف والأحداث التي جرت في حياة أجيال ذهبت، ولكن تجاربهم وحكمهم تجسدت على شكل أمثال شعبية متوارثة من جيل إلى جيل. ففي عالمنا العربي الأمثال تُورث كما الأرض، ليس بقيمتها الماديَّة؛ إنَّما بقيمتها المعنويــة مــن خــلال الفكر، والحكمة، والخبرة العميقة في حياة امتدت وتجذرت في أعماق التاريخ، لا بل هي مخزون فكري وعقلي ممزوج بطابع ترائي يُنقل من عصر إلى عصر، منها أيضا ما هو مطعم بروح الفكاهة، ومنها ما يكون عكس ذلك تماماً، فتكون معانيه وقصصه جديَّةً، وقد تكون تراجيدية، ولكن مهما يكن فكلُّها تعكس أملًا قد يكون مخفيًّا ولم ننتبه له، فتساعدنا على أن نفهم الحياة بطريقةٍسليمة، وتدفعنا إلى تخطي صعابها وتعقيداتها اليومية التي تتعقد أكثر فأكثر. وأخيرًا وليس آخرا، أتمنى أن أكون قد وفقت في تجميع غيض من فيض الأمثال الشعبية وقصصها التي حتمًا سيستمتع ويستفيد منها القارئ، وللبقيةتتمة، والله ولي التوفيق.
