Undiscovered Country

Undiscovered Country is a 1979 Tom Stoppard play first produced at the Olivier Theatre in London. The play is an adaptation of Das Weite Land by the Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler, which focuses on 1890s Viennese society, demonstrating the effects of upper class codes of behavior on human relationships. The main character is a self-made businessman named Friedrich Hofreiter who manages to be both charming and chauvinistic. Stoppard's alterations to the play consist of adding humor while lessening the melodrama. The title of the play is a reference to the concept of the afterlife as the "undiscovered country" from the "To be, or not to be" soliloquy in Hamlet. more »

A tale of two Cities    
In the same city
A tale of two cities
Uptown and inner-city
One is black... one is white       
The rule of law like day and night       
Sometimes... In my two cities

White day... No ground rules 
Sun hits our faces, out the door, off to school 
No second thoughts no second-guessing
The world is our oyster let start Etch A Sketching
White Day... in my two cities         

Black day... a bit obsessive 
Parents can be so insanely oppressive
Can't leave the house till I get the lecture
I'm just going out, why all the pressure?
Yeah yeah, I Don' t want to die
Yes Mom... I will comply
Black Day... in my two cities

White Night
Tonight Tonight, The city lights beckon
Free at last from the work week repression
Out with my homies we own the streets
Cruising the clubs, down with the beats
White Night... In my two cities

Black night... didn't get far
The bright lights that shine are behind my car
People gather, neighbor's stare
Stopped three times as often as the average white bear
God let the cop be decent not a dickhead
I don't want to be another statistic
Black Night... in my two cities

Blue Day... roll call... busy... a summer hot day 
Eyes wide open for a blue Camry hybrid
Driver robbed a store and left the owner for dead
Assaults and robberies... on the rise
Addicts need to fully fund their daily highs
Blue Day... in my two cities

Blue night... Drive by crowds look at me with suspicion
A few bad apples kill the trust in my mission
Proud to serve, it's a family tradition
Pray I don't get hurt God forbid 
I want to get home to my wife and kids
Blue Night... in my two cities

A tale of two Cities  
In the same city
A tale of two cities
In the same city
One is black and one is white   
The rule of law Like day and night
Sometimes... In my two cities

Tell me why?  Time after time? Tell me why?
There are two... cities
