Thursday night in Weltevreden

Love In The Time Of Genocideالحب في زمن الإبادة

“Seed”, written, composed, arranged, produced and performed by musician Jeremy Karodia in 2013 is sung as a seed in the first narrative. The song is based on the threat of the extinction of our natural seed banks. From a holistic point of view the threat of global climate change and patency of indigenous species by multinational corporations threatens the virtual extinction of our fauna and flora and life as we know it. Just as water and air are being privatised, so are our natural seeds which are being threatened by GMO versions which literally obliterate our natural seed supply, thereby effecting extreme food scarcity and world hunger. Social injustices are all related to these things and as the SEED says… if I die…we die…simple as that.

VERSE 1
i am what i am, i am from a seed, 
i am an idea, a thought that's unseen. 
i am the common word passed down through centuries, 
i am the light and shade that gives you sanctuary.

the winds contrived to carry me to places of pristine blue, 
and the raindrops came to bury me to anchor my roots. 
and then in early spring i blossomed and grew 
and out from the ground my fragrance covered you.

in a hue of life, in a maze of love i could be lost in time for the poverty of man.

chorus
now your conscience can renew me if you fight for what is right,
if you stand up in resistance we will be defined,
we are what we are, we are from a seed, we are the idea that can be freed.


VERSE 2
who are these men of darkness, these demons who went astray? 
who hide behind their walnut desks and lead us to end of days, 
i'm the fabric that binds us but i'm threatened by their ways, 
i"m replaced by their bitter seeds what does your conscience say?

genetically modified i'm consumed by their lies,
can you feel the earth move to lay down to die? 
for their patency and greed you will bow down to cry
and when i'm gone your children will pay the ultimate price.

clouded by the mist and shrouded by the pain we could be lost forever never to rise again

chorus
now your conscience can renew me if you fight for what is right,
if you stand up in resistance we will be defined,
we are what we are, we are from a seed, we are the idea that can be freed.X 2


VERSE 3
the ancient well of knowledge will be covered by their deeds,
and down on bended knee as you reap their magic seeds,
hunger will be your companion, famine will fill the streets
and the thread that tied us together will be a broken tapestry.

disease and starvation like ghosts across the land,
all that will remain will be our footprints in the sand,
from the dead infertile grounds to the dry river beds,
we'll be left to rue the damage dealt by their hands.

in a hue of life, in a maze of love i could be lost in time for the poverty of man

chorus
now your conscience can renew me if you fight for what is right,
if you stand up in resistance we will be defined,
we are what we are, we are from a seed, we are the idea that can be freed.
