Upper Hesse
The province of Upper Hesse (German: Provinz Oberhessen) was one of three provinces in the Grand Duchy of Hesse and later the People's State of Hesse. Its territory covers the area of land north of the River Main in the historic region of Upper Hesse. The provincial capital and largest town of the rural provinces was the university town of Gießen.
History
The province emerged as part of the new order in Germany after the Vienna Congress of 1815. The other two provinces in Hess were Starkenburg (capital: Darmstadt) and Rhenish Hesse (capital: Mainz).
The provinces of the Grand Duchy were wound up on 31 Juli 1848 and replaced by administrative regions (Regierungsbezirke); this was reversed again on 12 May 1852.

by: Ben HarperOppression
you pray on us when we sleep
oppression
you chase after the tired the poor the weak
oppression
you know you mean only harm
oppression
you reach out with your long arm
but oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me
oppression
you seek population control
oppression
to divide and to conquer is your goal
oppression
I swear that hatred is your home
oppression
you just won't leave bad enough alone
but oppression
I won't let you near me
oppression
you shall learn to fear me
oppression
I don't see how you sleep
oppression
for your bleeding conscience I weep
oppression
you may have the dollar on your side
but oppression
from the gospel truth you cannot hide

you shall learn to fear me

I won't let you near me
