Mother's Lament JL

Written by the late, great, irreplaceable Pete Seeger.
From the album "African Rose" - Protest songs throughout History.

Where Have All The Flowers Gone

2000 - Staying in The Blues House, Ponta d'Oro, Mozambique with Jon and Bon. Went swimming in the ocean, to be told when I got out that dolphins had been swimming around me under the waves. They know something we can learn from. This is the lovely linen top that Bonita painted for me xx

Dance - Dolphins - Dance

From my new album of old songs. "So Africa". These are timeless, some written 40 years ago, one written last year.
This song "Who listens now" highlights how we all want someone else to do something about things. Taking responsibility is not a common human trait, sadly.

03 Who Listens Now

Oh my brothers    Miriam Erasmus

Oh my brothers, what can we do ?
I don’t see much future for the human race, do you ?

Oh my sisters, what have we done ?
What sort of heritage are we leaving for our children ?

Oh Mother Earth can you forgive
The dreadful deeds that we have done to you ?

Oh Father Time, can you heal
The hurts, the wounds your children have given to each other ?

Oh my children, will you learn
From all the mistakes and wrongs that have gone before you ?

Oo oo etc.
