Nice one Bengt, beautifully done, you have a great touch on guitar and voice to go with

Totally with you Bengt! Lovely tender vocals and guitar work!

Dear friends - I just have to mention this subject again. I live in a free country with free healthcare and free schools - but violence has increased, mostly caused by the narcotic trade. A new substance has turned up -"Kristall" which is soo dangerous for the young people!! What shall we do??
Dear friends, drug use is gradually increasing year by year and more young people are getting drugs on the street. A Young person may commit terrible acts under the influence of eg. Tramadol! Their future is at great risk. Drug-affected drivers are being discovered more and more. Even some truck drivers are under the influence of drugs when driving their heavy vehicles. I guess it's quite difficult for the police to detect drug-affected drivers. What should we do??
Dear friends, I am so worried! 

Lyrics:
The Scourge of the World

There are many, many folks who use the drugs that make
their minds - so cloudy, and it lasts for many days ahead
which they didn’t expect
it affects everything - what they do in their life
from driving their car to the profession that they have.

It is important to protect the young folks from the drug abuse
cause they are - so vulnerable - it is so easy to follow the stream
if their friends have fallen down.
What can we do - to make them understand
the danger of the drugs which are sold frequently on the streets.

And what will happen that day, when the market for drugs is gone
and if they don’t earn any money - will the crooks start a robbing campaign
to get the money that they want
The future seems dark - why can’t the crooks turn
to proper members of the society that we want

Approximate lyrics in German
Die Geißel der Welt

Es gibt viele, viele Leute, die die Drogen benutzen, die sie herstellen
ihre Gedanken - so bewölkt, und es dauert viele Tage
was sie nicht erwartet hatten
es betrifft alles - was sie in ihrem Leben tun
vom Autofahren bis zum Beruf, den sie haben.

Es ist wichtig, junge Menschen vor Drogenmissbrauch zu schützen
weil sie - so verletzlich - sind, ist es so einfach, dem Strom zu folgen
wenn ihre Freunde gefallen sind.
Was können wir tun - um sie verständlich zu machen?
die Gefahr der Drogen, die häufig auf der Straße verkauft werden.

Und was wird an diesem Tag passieren, wenn der Markt für Medikamente weg ist?
und wenn sie kein Geld verdienen, starten die Gauner eine Raubkampagne
um das Geld zu bekommen, das sie wollen
Die Zukunft scheint dunkel - warum können sich die Gauner nicht drehen?
an die richtigen Mitglieder der Gesellschaft, die wir wollen

Approximate Lyrics in French
Le fléau du monde

Il y a beaucoup, beaucoup de gens qui utilisent les médicaments qui font
leur esprit - si nuageux, et cela dure plusieurs jours à venir
auquel ils ne s'attendaient pas
cela affecte tout - ce qu'ils font dans leur vie
de conduire leur voiture à la profession qu'ils exercent.

Il est important de protéger les jeunes de la toxicomanie
parce qu'ils sont - si vulnérables - il est si facile de suivre le flux
si leurs amis sont tombés.
Que pouvons-nous faire - pour leur faire comprendre
le danger des drogues qui sont vendues fréquemment dans les rues.

Et que se passera-t-il ce jour-là, quand le marché des médicaments aura disparu
et s'ils ne gagnent pas d'argent - les escrocs commenceront une campagne de vol
pour obtenir l'argent qu'ils veulent
L'avenir semble sombre - pourquoi les escrocs ne peuvent-ils pas tourner
aux membres appropriés de la société que nous voulons

The Baltic Sea is living dangerously right now! Scores of ships in deplorable condition transport oil across the sea. The risks are great for extensive oil disasters! I have made some songs for the Baltic sea just to make people understand the problems.

I have recently published some of my songs on YouTube - search for Bengt Roth.

I write almost all of my songs, and I sing my songs and play the guitar and the harp - no more. My recording equipment is quite modest with a Furch guitar, Alhambra guitar, Röde microphone, Focusrite and Garageband. My studio is our guest room in our house.
I was young during the 1960s when Dylan became famous. I was a member of a folk song group during that time. I love Dylan´s music!! I was also a big fan of The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Mamas and the Papas and several more singers. I like folk music and the old protest songs. I love the music
of Eva Cassidy. I was also a big fan of Björn Afzelius, and I love the music of Tom Petty. I am very inspired of the music of John Denver.
Bengt and certainly several 100 million people are intensively protesting against all evil around the world!
I love to sometimes write songs that are a bit weird and self-ironic!
You know that I am a novice in the "recording business", and sometimes I have to revise the songs.
My whole grown up life was occupied by my profession as a doctor in intensive care and anesthesiology. After that I have got the possibility to be dedicated to music. 
My songs are a matter of extreme happiness (Gretas song) and extreme sadness (Tough Year). I write all the music and lyrics except "As tears go by", "House of the Rising Sun", and songs by Evert Taube.
I love to leave some message with my songs!
I have no previous experience of writing fiction. I have, however, some experience in writing non-fiction. I wrote my thesis, and some chapters in a textbook in anesthesiology. I was also member of a group who introduced an education program in pediatric cardio pulmonary resuscitation for laymen in Sweden.
I have created a repost page "Bengt Erik Roth Repost Page" and I will make my reposts here in the future.
